Other Foods
A balanced diet for your bird should consist of:
- 75-80% Harrison's Bird Foods.
- 15-20% organic dark green leafy or dark yellow vegetables and fruits (e.g., sweet potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, winter squash, broccoli, parsley, spinach, mango, papaya).
Avoid offering additional vitamins unless directed by an avian veterinarian. Do not use other formulated diets alongside Harrison's, as this may reduce effectiveness. Variations in color, texture, and nugget size are normal due to the natural seasonal characteristics of Harrison’s ingredients.
