Directions for Use

• Feed Fresh Daily: Offer fresh pellets daily and replace any uneaten food to keep your bird’s diet fresh.
• Feed as Distinct Meals: To help reduce waste, feed pellets as distinct meals, since birds may eat all they want.
• Balance with Fresh Foods: Aim for 75 to 80% pellets and 15 to 20% organic leafy greens, yellow vegetables, and fruits daily.
• Skip Other Formulated Diets and Vitamins: Avoid other formulated diets and vitamins unless your avian veterinarian directs otherwise, to preserve the benefits.
• Switch Over Slowly: Start by mixing a small amount of pellets into your bird’s regular food. Gradually increase the portion each week over a four-week period.
• Help Your Bird Try Them: If your bird is hesitant, place a few pellets on white paper or a mirror at the bottom of the enclosure to spark its curiosity.
• Review Needs After Six Months: After six months of conversion, have an avian veterinarian assess your bird’s dietary needs and next steps.

Additional Information

Storage Instructions

• Seal the Bag: Push out any trapped air and securely reseal the bag after every use.
• Fix a Damaged Zip: If the zipper seal is broken, fold the opening down several times and close with a clip.
• Keep in the Original Bag: Keep food in its original bag and do not repackage it into plastic bags or containers.
• Use Within 12 Weeks: Use contents within 12 weeks of opening the bag; refrigeration or freezing after opening may help maintain freshness.

Precautions

• Consult an Avian Veterinarian: Consult an avian veterinarian before making any diet change, and again each year after that.
• Some Crumbling Is Normal: Some crumbling is unavoidable with a coarse grind, since nutritional integrity is prioritized over cosmetic uniformity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is Harrison’s High Potency Coarse Organic Pellet Food?

Ans: It is a certified organic, non-GMO verified pellet food made from whole grains and legumes with naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, and balanced Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, formulated as a year-round diet for medium to large birds, available in 1-lb, 5-lb, and 25-lb bags.

Q2: Which birds is the Coarse size for?

Ans: High Potency Coarse suits cockatoos, large conures, African greys, eclectus, macaws, pionus, and other medium to large parrots. Smaller birds, such as cockatiels, budgies, and lovebirds, are better suited to the fine version of this formula.

Q3: Why are the pellets coarse, and is crumbling normal?

Ans: The larger, coarser particles are meant to help the bird’s gizzard work as it should by supporting natural grinding. Some crumbling is normal with this type of feed. The focus is on providing the right nutrition and health benefits, not making every piece look the same.

Q4: When should I use High Potency Coarse?

Ans: High Potency Coarse is ideal for conversion, breeding, weaning, and special health needs. Birds that are molting, overweight, underweight, very active, housed in cold climates, recovering from illness, or affected by liver or kidney disease can all be fed this formula.

Q5: How long should my bird stay on this formula?

Ans: All birds should start and remain on this formula for at least six months. After the initial six-month conversion, a qualified avian veterinarian should assess your bird’s dietary needs, and other species may switch to an Adult Lifetime formula if they are not molting, breeding, or recovering from illness.

Q6: How do I convert my bird to this food?

Ans: Consult an avian veterinarian before any diet change, then mix the pellets with your bird’s current diet and note acceptance. If your bird needs more time, increase the pellets by 25 percent each week over four weeks while reducing other food by 25 percent.

Q7: What else should my bird eat each day?

Ans: A bird’s daily diet should be 75 to 80 percent pellets and 15 to 20 percent organic dark green leafy or dark yellow meaty vegetables and fruits, such as sweet potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, winter squash, broccoli, parsley, spinach, mango, or papaya. Do not offer vitamins unless your avian veterinarian directs it.
