Balanced nutrition is not a decision made once and left unchanged. It requires ongoing responsibility, observation, and accountability over time.
One of the veterinarians involved in formulating Nature’s Nest pellets is Dr Coetzee de Beer, a registered avian veterinarian who works with avian patients daily. His clinical practice places him in direct contact with the long term health outcomes of companion birds.
This involvement matters because formulation is not separated from observation. Nutritional performance is evaluated where it has meaning. In real birds, across different species, life stages, and health conditions, over time.
Indicators such as feather condition, body composition, energy levels, organ health, and overall vitality are not theoretical measures. They are clinical observations seen repeatedly in practice. This ongoing exposure creates a feedback loop between diet and outcome, allowing formulations to be assessed, reviewed, and refined with reference to lived clinical evidence.
Dr de Beer practices at the Centre for Avian, Reptiles and Exotics in Klapmuts, Western Cape. This avian and exotic focused clinic supports advanced diagnostics, preventative care, and long term patient monitoring. Working within this environment allows nutrition to be considered alongside diagnostics and treatment, rather than in isolation.
This approach differs from formulations developed without clinical exposure, where nutrition is often based on static recipes or theoretical models rather than ongoing veterinary observation.
At Nature’s Nest, pellets are not evaluated by short term acceptance alone. They are assessed through the sustained health of the birds consuming them.
Dr Coetzee de Beer works closely with the founder of Nature’s Nest, his brother, on formulation decisions and ongoing evaluation. Their collaboration is shaped by daily communication and shared responsibility, guided by a single principle: nutrition must support long term avian health.
This principle was established early through the influence of their father, Dr Deon de Beer, whose career in avian medicine shaped how both view formulation and care. The focus has always been on responsibility rather than trends, and on continuity rather than shortcuts.
Nutrition should be held to the same standard as veterinary medicine. Grounded in evidence. Informed by experience. Accountable to real world outcomes.
That standard guides how Nature’s Nest pellets are formulated, monitored, and maintained over time.
