Lafeber Avi-Era Powdered Bird Vitamins
Lafeber Avi-Era combines a trusted US pet-care pedigree with a palatability-focused formula that emphasizes immune and antioxidant support alongside core vitamins, positioning it as a market-leading generalist for companion and aviary birds. Compared to the specialized Vetafarm breeder formula or the very concentrated Nekton-S, Avi-Era offers a middle-ground technically (good nutrient breadth without extreme concentration) and often a competitive price-to-quality ratio for everyday use.
