Harrison’s Bird Foods – High Potency Fine

USES

• Conversion: All birds should start and remain on Harrison’s High Potency Formula for at least 6 months to ensure a healthy, sustainable diet transition.

• Special Needs: Ideal for birds that are molting, underweight, overweight, particularly active, living in cold climates, recovering from illness, or affected by liver or kidney disease. This formula offers the extra nutrients needed during these special circumstances.

• Breeding Birds: Feed Harrison’s High Potency Formula to all breeding birds to support reproductive vitality and the development of healthy chicks.

• Weaning Birds: Continue feeding High Potency Formula for at least 6-9 months after weaning to ensure proper growth and nutritional balance during this critical stage of development. Harrison’s High Potency Fine provides specialized support for birds at various life stages, addressing both general and specific dietary needs to maintain optimal health and vitality.

Converting to Harrison’s

Before changing your bird’s diet, always consult an avian veterinarian to ensure it’s the right choice for your pet’s specific needs. When transitioning, mix the Harrison’s High Potency Fine food with your bird’s present diet, observing their acceptance. If necessary, gradually introduce Harrison’s by increasing the amount over a 4-week period, increasing the Harrison’s portion by 25% each week while reducing the previous food by the same amount. This gradual transition helps avert digestive issues and ensures a smooth dietary shift. For birds needing additional time, you can scatter Harrison’s nuggets over white paper or a mirror on the floor to encourage consumption. Additionally, Harrison’s offers extra conversion materials at no additional cost, making the transition process easier and more successful.

Storage and Shelf Life

Harrison’s Bird Foods is dedicated to protecting your bird from harmful preservatives and artificial additives.

To keep your bird’s food fresh and nutritious, follow these simple guidelines:

• Squeeze out all air from the bag before sealing it securely with the zip closure.

• If the zip-lock is damaged, fold the top of the bag over several times and use a clip to secure it.

• Always store the food in its original packaging; do not repack into plastic bags or containers as they can compromise the quality.

• Once opened, consume the contents within 8 weeks for maximum freshness.

• Ensure you purchase Harrison’s Bird Foods only in its original packaging to ensure the integrity of the product.

• If needed, refrigerating or freezing the food after opening can help extend its shelf life, keeping the nutrients intact.

Additional concerns

Balanced Diet for Your Bird

For optimal health, a bird’s daily diet should consist of 70-80% Harrison’s Bird Foods, with the remaining 20-30% made up of organic, dark green leafy vegetables, dark yellow meaty vegetables, and fruits. Ideal choices include sweet potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, winter squash, broccoli, parsley, spinach, mango, or papaya. Adding 5% omega-rich seeds and nuts like flax, chia, or perilla can complement the diet.

Refrain from offering vitamin supplements unless specifically recommended by your avian veterinarian, as excess supplementation can disrupt the nutritional balance. Additionally, do not combine Harrison’s with other formulated bird diets, as this can interfere with the benefits of Harrison’s carefully crafted nutrition plan. Always prioritize fresh, natural, organic foods to ensure your bird’s long-term health.

Exercise for Your Bird

Recent studies show that a lack of exercise is a key factor in the development of health problems in captive parrots, particularly atherosclerosis, which worsens with age. To promote overall health and longevity, it’s essential to provide ample exercise opportunities.

Here are several ways to help your pet bird stay active:

• Free-flying is the utmost form of exercise, but be mindful of the risks, such as escape or household hazards.

• Ensure the bird’s enclosure is large enough to allow free flight and movement within.

• Consider using a harness or leash when allowing outdoor time, under constant supervision, prevents potential dangers.

• Place a ladder inside the enclosure to encourage climbing and movement.

• Provide safe environmental enrichment, including toys and activities to encourage physical and mental exercise.

• Allow daily time for the birds to move freely outside the cage, ensuring they have sufficient space and supervision.

Sunlight for Your Bird

Exposure to sunlight is crucial for activating vitamin D and ensuring proper calcium absorption in birds. For species like African grey parrots, which naturally thrive in the jungle canopy, adequate sunlight is necessary to support bones and overall well-being.

Here are several ways to provide sunlight access for your pet bird:

• Expose your bird to outdoor sunlight for short periods, ensuring there is shade available for retreat when needed.

• Simply placing the bird’s cage near a window will not suffice, as the glass blocks important UV rays.

• In regions with limited sunlight, consider using specialized UVA and UVB lamps that simulate natural sunlight and support vitamin D production.

By ensuring your bird gets enough sunlight, you’ll support their bones, body’s defenses, and overall vitality, improving their quality of life.
