Uses: An annual formula for all medium to large parrots, especially African Grey Parrots, Cockatoos, Large Conures, Eclectus, Macaws, and Pionus. Other species can transition to the Lifetime Formula after a 6-month conversion period.

Conversion: All birds should start and remain on the High Potency Formula for at least 6 months.

Special Needs: For molting birds, those that are overweight, underweight, highly active, living in cold climates, recovering from illness, or suffering from liver or kidney disease.

Feeding Weaning Birds: Feed the High Potency Formula for at least 6-9 months.

Feeding Breeding Birds: Feed birds the High Potency Formula 1-2 months before the breeding period and until chicks are weaned or for at least six months before returning to the Lifetime Formula. The amount of certified organic vegetables and fruits added may increase until chicks are weaned. For every 2 tablespoons (20 grams) of formula, add ½ tablespoon (5 grams) of certified organic peanuts or almonds and 1 tablespoon (10 grams) of certified organic sunflower seeds.

Storage: Harrison's Bird Foods contain no artificial preservatives. Once opened, the package should be consumed within 8 weeks. Storing food in the refrigerator or freezer helps maintain freshness.

Feeding Guidelines: Feed fresh food daily - do not "top off" the meal. To help reduce waste, offer food in distinct meals. Birds can eat as much as they want, but use the guide below as a reference.

Feeding Additional Items: Harrison's products should make up 75-80% of your bird's diet. It is recommended that 15-20% of the total diet volume be high-quality vegetables and fruits, preferably organic. Dark yellow or dark green items such as sweet potatoes, carrots, squash, broccoli, parsley, spinach, mango, or papaya are most beneficial.

It is recommended that 5% of the total diet volume be high-quality items, preferably organic, that provide a rich source of Omega-3. Examples include chia seeds, hemp seeds, flax seeds, or some nuts. See this article for more information on the reasons and benefits of including these items.

Vitamin or other supplement products for birds or animals are not recommended.

[For birds suspected of having iron storage disease: Avoid citrus fruits, tomatoes, kiwi, strawberries, and other foods containing Vitamin C. Avoid grapes, raisins, liver, red meats, egg yolks, or dark green vegetables like spinach, which may contain high levels of iron.]
