Lafeber Company was established by a father-son team of veterinarians with a shared love of animals and a dedicated passion for birds. Dr. T.J. Lafeber developed the very first commercial bird food pellet in the back room of his veterinary clinic in the early 1970s. Today, our recipes are developed by his son, Dr. Ted Lafeber, III, along with top veterinarians and nutritionists. Our manufacturing facility has always been situated on the Lafeber family farmland, and all of our products are mixed, packaged and formed under one roof.
