Feeding directions
- feed fresh food daily, do
not "top off".
- to help reduce waste, feed
as distinct meals.

but if serving as the main diet, rather than a treat, use the list below as a guideline.

Feeding of additional items
- Harrison's products should make up 75-80% by volume of your bird's diet.
- It is recommended that 15-20% by volume of the overall diet should be
good quality, ideally organic, vegetables and fruits. Dark yellow meaty,
or dark green leafy, items such as sweet potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, winter
squash, broccoli, parsley, spinach, mango or papaya are the most beneficial.
- It is recommended that 5% by volume of the overall diet should be
high quality, ideally organic, items which provide a rich source of omega-3s. Examples include chia seeds, hemp seeds, flax seeds, or certain nuts. See this article for more information on the reasons for, and benefits
of, including these items.
- It is not
recommended to supplement with vitamins or other bird or animal supplementary products.
[For
birds with suspected iron-storage disease: Avoid citrus fruits, tomatoes, kiwi,
