Special Needs: For birds that are molting, overweight, underweight, particularly active, housed in a cold climate, recovering from an illness or affected by liver or kidney disease. Breeding Birds: Feed High Potency Formula to all breeding birds. Weaning Birds: Feed High Potency Formula for at least 6-9 months after weaning. Converting to Harrison's Consult with an avian veterinarian before any diet change and annually thereafter. Mix Harrison's with your bird's current diet and note acceptance. If your bird needs more time, taper amount given over four weeks, increasing Harrison's by 25% each week (reducing other food by 25%) until you can safely remove the previous food altogether. If needed, scatter Harrison's nuggets over white paper or a mirror on the floor of the enclosure. Harrison's has additional conversion materials. Storage and Shelf Life Harrison's is committed to protecting your bird from artificial preservatives. Here are some suggestions to keep your food fresh without preservatives Squeeze all air out of the bag and zip it shut at the top. If the zip lock gets removed or damaged, fold the top over several times and close with a clip. Keep food in original bag. Do not repackage into plastic bags or containers. Use contents within 8 weeks of opening bag. Purchase Harrison's foods only in their original packaging. Refrigeration or freezing after opening may help maintain freshness. Additional concerns Feeding Percentages A bird's daily diet should be 75-80% Harrison's Bird Foods, 15-20% organic dark green leafy or dark yellow meaty vegetables and fruits (including sweet potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, winter squash, broccoli, parsley, spinach, mango or papaya) and 5% omega-rich seeds and nuts (flax, chia, perilla, or JUMPSTART Omega). Do not offer vitamins unless directed by your avian veterinarian. Do not use other formulated diets in conjunction with Harrison's or you could reduce the benefits. Exercise Recent research has shown that a lack of exercise is a primary factor in the development of diseases, especially atherosclerosis. This appears to be a condition that is present in all captive parrots to some degree and worsens with age. There are a few ways a family can ensure that a pet bird has access to exercise • Free-flying would be the ultimate exercise, but there are potential associated risks, such as escape or encountering household dangers Housing in a large enough enclosure to allow free flight Placing a harness or leash on the bird and have it tethered to an outdoor line under constant observation Placing a ladder inside the enclosure to encourage movement Providing safe environmental enrichment activities Offering daily time for the bird to move around outside the enclosure with supervision Sunlight Access to sunlight is essential for activation of vitamin D and utilization of calcium in the body. For example, African grey parrots, whose natural living conditions are high in the jungle canopy, require an abundance of sunlight in captivity to activate dietary calcium. There are several ways access to sunlight can be accomplished for pet birds One may expose the bird in its cage or other safe enclosure to outdoor fresh air and direct sunlight for short periods of time. There should be shade available for the bird to retreat. Putting a cage in front of a sunny window does not accomplish the same thing. The glass itself prevents transfer of the proper rays. In areas or seasons where there is little direct sun, recommended lamps with sufficient UVA and UVB lights may be used to simulate sun rays.

Really good for my african grey ## Features - Hygienic packaging - Formulated with care - Packed with a host of goodness - Refer to the packaging for information on use - - The importance of exercise in pet birds cannot be understated. Learn more about ways for your bird to exercise. - Some bird species require regular access to direct sunlight for optimal health. - Life enrichment, ie; foraging activities, puzzle toys, frequent social interaction and other enrichment methods are necessary to keep most pet birds healthy and happy.

My parrots can't eat them** A: I would look at the Adult Lifetime Mash formula by Harrison's Bird Food, there is no peanuts or corn in this formulation...here is the ingredient: *Ground Hulled Grey Millet, *Ground Toasted Buckwheat Groats, *Ground Soy Flakes, *Ground Hulled Sesame Seeds, *Chia Seed, *Spirulina, Calcium Carbonate, *Ground Sun-Dried Alfalfa, Montmorillonite Clay, *Ground Dried Sea Kelp, Di-Calcium Phosphate, Vitamin E Supplement, Sea Salt, Ground Whole Anise, Vitamin A Supplement, Vitamin D3 Supplement, D-alpha tocopheryl acetate, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Riboflavin Supplement, d-Calcium Pantothenate, Niacin Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, d-Biotin, Thiamine Mononitrate, Folic Acid, Zinc Oxide, Copper Sulfate, Sodium Selenite, Calcium Carbonate. **Q: Is this 5lb or 3? The listing has both sizes listed.. 5 lb as title and in picture but only 3 lb listed as the option.** A: Back when I bought it I bought 5 LBS. I have never bought it again (it's been at least 8 months) as my particular parrot didn't really like it., so I don't know how they are selling it now. **Q: does it help with feather plucking?** A: My bird plucked his feather's because he had Borna Virus. After a year in treatment he stopped for the most part, unless he gets highly stressed. We switched him from Zupreem to Harrison's High Potency and it is much better for him. We treated him for a year with a liquid Celebrex course of medication. We also added 24 hour heat in his cage to help him recover. When birds are in a stressful environment like lots of noise, children, dogs barking, too much light, maybe tv's are too loud, video games, not enough time outside the cage (minimum 45 minutes a day) , not enough interaction (minimum 3 hours a day) , not enough toys (need lots of stimulation from chewing, claw toys, bells, wood blocks, etc. ) , maybe there is to much quick movement in the room, large boxes, sticks on the bottom of the cage ( look like snakes) . It really could be any one of several factors. **Q: Whst is the expiration date on this 25 lb bag?** A: I don't pay attention to the date. It has a lengthy date similar to other animal products when you receive. I repackage into gallon size freezer bags and freeze them until I need them. I have done this for 15 years at least and never had a problem. I am feeding this to a 30 year old African gray, 28 year old eclectus and a Moluccan cockatoo. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Expired product *by B***D on 29 June 2023* Expiry date on bag is APRIL 2023 and just received on 29th June 2023…. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant parrot food *by A***R on 22 November 2025* Been using this product for years.
