Product Information
Full details
Harrison's Adult Lifetime Coarse is a nutritionally complete, high-quality dietary solution designed specifically for medium to large non-breeding adult birds, including most parrot species. It offers the key benefit of providing consistent, balanced nutrition through a slow-releasing coarse formula that encourages natural foraging behaviors, though owners should note that birds accustomed to seed-only diets may require a gradual transition period to accept the pellets.

FAQs
Is this suitable for young chicks or breeding birds?
No, this formula is specifically for non-breeding adults. Breeding birds usually require a higher protein and fat formula like Harrison's High Potency.
Can I feed this to my small budgie?
The Coarse variety is likely too large for a budgie; the 'Super Fine' or 'Fine' varieties would be more appropriate for smaller beaks.
Do I need to add vitamin supplements?
No, Harrison's Adult Lifetime is a complete diet; adding extra supplements can lead to an unhealthy imbalance of nutrients.
How long does a 453g bag last?
Usage depends on the size of the bird and their daily intake; generally, it lasts several weeks for a medium-sized parrot.
What should I do if the bag seal breaks?
Transfer the pellets to an airtight glass or BPA-free plastic container to maintain freshness and prevent contamination.
Troubleshooting
Bird refuses to eat the pellets
Mix the pellets with a small amount of the previous diet or moisten them slightly with water to make them more palatable during the transition.
Pellets becoming soft or stale
Ensure the bag is sealed completely after every use and store in a cooler, drier environment to prevent humidity absorption.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your bird accepts the food, it is highly recommended to follow a slow transition schedule, mixing increasing amounts of Harrison's with their current food over 7–10 days. Always monitor your bird's weight and droppings during the change to ensure they are consuming enough food. For storage, keep the bag tightly sealed in a cool, dry place. Because Harrison's uses natural preservatives, it is best to use the product within 6 weeks of opening. To maintain maximum freshness, you can store the bag in the refrigerator or freezer once opened, ensuring the seal is airtight to prevent moisture buildup.
