Disclaimer: Product information and usage guidelines are provided by the manufacturer. Always use products as directed on the label and consult your veterinarian before use if you have any concerns regarding your pet’s health.
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.
- Introduce Pellets Slowly: Add a small amount of pellets to your bird’s usual food and gradually increase the portion by 25% each week over four weeks.
- Make Pellets More Appealing: If your bird isn’t interested, try placing a few pellets on white paper or a mirror on the enclosure floor to encourage it to investigate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is Harrison’s High Potency Super-Fine 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 small birds, available in a 1-lb bag.
Q2: Which birds is the Super-Fine size for?
Ans: High Potency Super-Fine suits canaries, finches, budgies (parakeets), and other small parrots. Larger birds, such as conures, quakers, and cockatiels, are better suited to the fine version, and medium to large parrots to the coarse version of this formula.
Q3: When should I use High Potency Super-Fine?
Ans: High Potency Super-Fine 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.
Q4: How long should my bird stay on this formula?
Ans: All birds should start and remain on this formula for at least six months. For weaning birds, feed it for at least six to nine months after weaning, and all breeding birds should be fed this formula.
Q5: 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.
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 fruits and vegetables are recommended additions.
Q7: Is it normal for the pellets to vary in color or size?
Ans: Yes, variations in color, texture, and pellet size are normal because the ingredients are not processed in a manner that destroys naturally occurring seasonal characteristics, so slight differences from bag to bag are to be expected.
