Because birds can be intolerant of artificial pesticides, fertilisers and preservatives, Harrison's Bird Foods have developed the first and only 100% Organic bird food, Harrison`s High Potency Fine 1lb Organic Parrot Food.
The ingredients are premium whole grains and are approved for human consumption.
High Potency is recommended for…
Birds being converted from a seed-based diet. Birds being converted from any other diet. Feed for a period of at least 6 months before transitioning to Harrison’s Adult Lifetime.
Conures, Lories, Quakers, Cockatiels, Lovebirds as a year-round diet.
Birds that are moulting, overweight, underweight, very active, housed in a cold climate, recovering from illness, affected by liver or kidney disease.
Birds that are weaning – feed for at least 6-9 months.
Birds that are breeding – Ideally feed for 2 months prior to the breeding period and until chicks are weaned, or for at least 6 months before resuming Harrison’s Adult Lifetime.
We would recommend a veterinary health check prior to changing your bird's diet.

“Harrisons bird food is definitely one of the healthiest bird foods around but what has always been difficult is getting birds to like it and in all honestly I'd rather give my bird a natural seed diet but heigh-ho I'm not gonna be changing anything with my Hahns since he was weaned on it.The way I got Jambo to like it was to start using it like it was a treat, putting it in foraging toys, and giving him it during training so it appealed to him more in his little head. Eventually he started eating it but I have to say it delayed the average weaning time.High Potency has been his staple diet since we got him (3 years) and it was recommended by our Avian vet to keep purchasing the high potency. I can't say that he really enjoys the food, he'd probably rather go chew on some wood but he's eating it so no problems there.”

“My avain vet recommends this product and stocks it at their practice. I weaned my conure onto Harrisons pellets by initally mixing them with her egg food, she took to them straight away and gets excited every time she sees the bag. She's just been through her first moult and the quality of her feathers is excellent with a lovely sheen.That said i feel that it would be unnatural to feed her a purely processed food diet and so i suppliment Rio's diet with a good quality seed / dried veg mix from Northern Parrots and plenty of fresh fruit. She has a bias for the pellets over the seed mix which is good.Whilst the bags may seem expensive initally they do last a long time and works out at about ú1 a week for a conure sized bird.”

“Advised by an avian vet because contains all nutrients a parrot needs, seed diets are not good for parrots esp sunflower seeds as they are high in fat, very addictive and contain no nutritional value.Large bag saves you money”

“No doubt about the quality of the product, but not so easy to persuade my 40 year old African Grey. This is the third attempt. He will only tackle the fine version, mixed with puree made from tinned peaches in juice (it must be peaches!). Now he is on 50-50 Harrisons/sunflower, so we are getting there slowly. If I ever get him onto the Harrisons coarse dry, I plan to mix the left-over crumbs with fruit puree to make a "pudding".”

“I have very fussy eating lovebirds, they pick and choose what they will eat, which only seems to be seed. I have only had them a few weeks (I am, as far as I know, the 3rd owner). My female is unwell and the vet recommended this feed and so far so good, they are eating it.”

“As with all things 'bird', it's worth persevering with any new diet, and not introducing it 'cold' and expecting success. Mixing it gradually with existing food until the bird accepts it usually works. I had no difficulty getting my 4 cockatiels to eat Harrisons normal or high potency varieties - they all took to it straight away, even without me having to mix it with their previous diet. There's no waste, it doesn't go mouldy if left uneaten on a specific day, and I switched them to Harrison's on the advice of our avian vet, so it's professionally recommended too. My blue and gold macaw is also now on Harrison's, which she absolutely loves, but in her case it took many months of perseverence, including crushing up the pellets with warm water (parrot porridge!) before she accepted it. Birds do differ, and some may never like a specific food, but this is an excellent variety with all the nutrients needed and no toxins, so it's definitely worth a go.”
