Q5: What else should my bird eat each day?

Q6: Can I feed other formulated diets alongside this food?
Ans: No, do not use other formulated diets alongside this formula, since doing so could reduce its benefits. Vitamins should also be avoided unless your avian veterinarian directs you to offer them. Fresh vegetables and fruits are the recommended additions.
Q7: Why don’t the pellets look the same every time?
Ans: Harrison’s pellets are made from premium whole grains and whole legumes without artificial processing or bleached or dyed flours, meals, or by-products that cover up natural grain characteristics. Only highly processed foods can look perfectly uniform every time, so variations in color, texture, and pellet size are normal.
