Product Information

Full details

Harrison's High Potency Coarse is a premium, certified organic, and nutritionally balanced bird food designed for medium to large parrots including African greys, cockatoos, and macaws. This formula is ideal for birds requiring a higher metabolic energy intake or those recovering from illness, providing sustained nutrition through its coarse, textured format that encourages natural foraging behaviors; however, pet owners should consult with an avian veterinarian to ensure this high-energy formulation is appropriate for their bird's specific activity level and health requirements.

FAQs

Is this suitable for all parrot species?

This formula is specifically designed for medium to large parrots. Small species like budgies or cockatiels may find the coarse kibble size too difficult to manage.

Does this food contain seeds?

No, Harrison's is a complete, uniform diet pellet, which eliminates the risk of birds selectively eating only their favorite, often fatty, seeds.

How do I know if my bird needs 'High Potency' vs 'Adult Lifetime'?

High Potency is generally recommended for breeding birds, birds recovering from illness, or those that need extra support. Adult Lifetime is for birds that have completed the conversion and are in stable health.

Do I need to add vitamin supplements?

No. Harrison's is formulated to be nutritionally complete. Adding extra supplements can actually lead to nutrient toxicity.

Can I feed this to my bird if they are sedentary?

If your bird is not very active, discuss this with your vet, as the High Potency formula is calorie-dense and might contribute to weight gain in inactive birds.

Troubleshooting

Bird refuses to eat the new food

Reduce the rate of transition. Ensure the bird is hungry at meal times and try lightly misting the pellets with water to enhance the aroma.

Pellets are going stale before the bag is finished

Store the product in an airtight container or original bag with excess air removed, and consider keeping the main supply in the refrigerator.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Certified organic and free of artificial preservatives
  • Supports natural chewing and foraging habits
  • Provides a complete, balanced nutritional profile
  • Excellent for birds recovering from illness or nutritional deficiency

Cons

  • Higher energy content may not be suitable for inactive or sedentary birds
  • Requires proper transition period for picky eaters
  • Does not contain artificial colors or flavors, which some birds may find less 'exciting' initially

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Transitioning a bird to Harrison's should be done gradually over 6 to 8 weeks to ensure acceptance. Begin by mixing a small amount of the new food with the current diet, slowly increasing the ratio of High Potency Coarse while decreasing the old food. Store the bag in a cool, dark, and dry environment. Because Harrison's does not use artificial preservatives, it is best to squeeze the air out of the bag after each use and keep it tightly sealed. For maximum freshness, some owners choose to store the bulk of the bag in the refrigerator or freezer and keep a smaller, usable portion in an airtight container at room temperature.
