Uses An annual formula for canaries, finches, as well as small parrots (parakeets) and other parrot species. Transition: All birds should start and remain on the high potency formula for a minimum of 6 months. Special needs: For birds that are molting, overweight, underweight, particularly active, living in a cold climate, recovering from illness, or affected by liver or kidney diseases. Weaning birds: Feed the high potency formula for at least 6-9 months. Breeding birds: Feed birds the high potency formula 1-2 months before the breeding period and until the chicks are weaned or for at least six months before resuming the adult lifetime formula. The amount of approved organic vegetables and fruits added can be increased until the chicks are weaned. For every 2 tablespoons (20 grams) of the formula, add ½ (5 grams) tablespoon of approved organic sunflower seeds.

Storage: Harrison's products do not contain artificial preservatives. Once opened, a bag of Harrison's should be consumed within 8 weeks. Storing food in the refrigerator or freezer helps maintain its freshness.

Feeding Directions Provide fresh food daily, do not "top off." To help reduce waste, offer it as distinct meals. Birds can eat as much as they like, but use the Menu below as a guide. Approximate feeding amounts of High Potency Mix (HPM) and additional foods:

• Canary / Finch: 1 - 1¾ grams (one teaspoon) of HPM ½ teaspoon additional foods
• Small Parrot (Parakeet) / Small Parrot: 1½ - 3 grams (1 - 2 teaspoons) of HPM ½ - 1 teaspoon additional foods
• Cockatiel / Lovebird: 2 - 5 grams (1½ - 3 teaspoons) of HPM ½ - 1 teaspoon additional foods
• Dove / Pigeon: 5 - 15 grams (½ - 1½ tablespoons) of HPM 1 - 2 teaspoons additional foods

Supplementary Feeding Harrison's products should make up 75-80% of your bird's food volume. It is recommended that 15-20% of the total diet volume be high-quality vegetables and fruits, preferably organic. Items with dark yellow flesh or dark green leaves, such as sweet potatoes, carrots, squash, winter 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. Refer to this article for more information on the reasons and benefits of including these items.

Supplementary feeding with vitamins or other additional products for birds or animals is 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 leafy green vegetables like spinach, which may contain high levels of iron.]
