Harrison's Bird Foods High Potency Fine

My husband and I have ordered Harrison’s High Potency “FINE” 5 lb on Amazon at least 10 times over the past eight years. Our birds absolutely love it! It’s also the healthiest and best food we’ve been able to find for them. Recently, it’s been very difficult to find. Our vet stopped carrying it, and we haven’t been able to find it in any local stores, so we’re really grateful that it’s available on Amazon. We always try to keep some in stock so we never run out, and Amazon makes that very convenient. Our birds are very picky and get nervous about trying anything new. They prefer the Fine size, but it’s been listed as out of stock for a while. The last two times I ordered Super Fine instead, but the Fine size actually arrived both times. It was a pleasant surprise for us, but it could potentially be confusing or problematic for other customers. We would really appreciate it if the product information could be updated so customers know exactly which size is currently available and what they will receive. Thank you!

This is one of the best foods you can buy for your domesticated bird. The ingredients are very high quality, certified organic, and very healthy for your bird. I must confess that I do mix this food with Roudybush, another high quality pellet food. I could not be happier with Harrisions than I am - it simply exceeds all of my expectations. Converting your bird to a pellet diet from a seed diet can be somewhat difficult but if you have patience and are consistent it will pay off, and your bird will be healthier. I highly recommend this product for any domesticated bird. Below is the list of ingredients for the Fine - I hope this review helps you to decide if this this product is for you. If you find this product is too costly, and it is not cheap, do check out Roudybush as well, it is cheaper, but is generally considered not quite as good as this diet and it is not organic, but I do feed my birds both of these foods. Also please note this is the 'high potency' forumula, there is also a daily diet that is a bit of a different recepie but Harrison's recommends if you are changing from another food to Harrision's that you use the High Potency for at least the first six months. Ingredients: *Ground Hulled White Millet (Proso), *Ground Shelled Sunflower Seeds, *Ground Hulless Barley, *Ground Yellow Corn, *Ground Soybeans, *Ground Shelled Peanuts, *Ground Rice, *Ground Green Peas, *Ground Lentils, *Ground Toasted Oat Groats, Chia Seed, *Ground Alfalfa, Calcium Carbonate, Montmorillonite Clay, Spirulina, Ground Dried Sea Kelp, Vitamin E Supplement, Sea Salt, Vitamin A Supplement, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Niacin Supplement, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Riboflavin Supplement, d-Calcium Pantothenate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, d-Biotin, Thiamine Mononitrate and Sodium Selenite. *CERTIFIED ORGANIC INGREDIENT Guaranteed Analysis Crude Protein 20.0% min Crude Fat 12.0% min Crude Fiber 5.0% max Moisture 10.0% max I wanted to include here a recipe for a fresh diet that a breeder I highly respect gave me just to offer some advice to keep our pet birds healthier - it is not at all related this the product I have reviewed here but it could very well give you some great ideas to get fresh fruits and vegetables into your bird. All domestic birds, especially parrots, lovebirds, parrotlets, parakeets, canaries, finches, conures, etc, should have fresh fruit and vegetables and they can present a challenge to get them to eat them. Gives this recipe a try Here's a recipe that I make and it took some time for them to get used to it, but now my lovebirds and my parrotlets both eat this when provided. I give it in the morning and remove uneaten food in the evening. 1 apple cored and chopped 1/2 Cup chopped raw broccoli 1 Chopped bell pepper seed included 2 shredded carrots 1/2 Cup chopped greens (bok choy, mustard greens, kale and/or chard) 1/4 Cup frozen corn (can be eliminated if you put slices of raw corn on the cob in treat holders/clips in your cage - all my birds LOVE it and I have had 100% success getting them to eat this) 1/4 Cup frozen peas 1/2 Cup cooked rice (brown or GABA brown rice) 1/2 Cup cooked dried beans (they will need to be soaked overnight for 8 hours) A handful of blueberries, chopped cherries and chopped seedless grapes Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Place ingredients in an ice cube tray and freeze. Remove frozen cubes and place in plastic bags to store in freezer. Then you can take out the perfect portion on a daily basis . They say 1 cube per bird but you may bind that 1 cube will work well for a pair of birds of if smaller birds, even more. Instead of an ice cube tray I use slider freezer bags and press them flat after I fill them with enough of the mixture and this way I can easily break off appropriate sized pieces. This recipe is variable and you can switch out or add/delete ingredients that you have on hand or what you know your birds already like. This recipe is in ADDITION to their regular diet of pellets and seeds and not a substitute.

As any Indian Ringneck owner knows, these parrots can be notoriously picky eaters! Finding a food that's both healthy and appealing to them can be a real challenge. That's why I was so thrilled to discover Harrison's High Potency Fine Pellets. My ringneck absolutely loves them! This is actually my second time ordering, which speaks volumes. What's great about Harrison's is the quality. The 'fine' pellet size is perfect for ringnecks, and my bird took to them immediately. A little really does go a long way, making the higher price point completely justifiable. You're paying for premium nutrition, and it lasts. The pellets themselves have a very mild, almost non-existent smell, which I appreciate. (reminds me of organic, healthy baked treats.) Most importantly, I feel good knowing I'm providing my bird with a balanced and nutritious base diet. Of course, Harrison's pellets aren't the only thing I feed him - fresh fruits and vegetables are still a vital part of his daily meals. But having a reliable, well-accepted pellet like this takes the stress out of mealtime. If you're struggling to find a pellet your picky Indian Ringneck will eat, I highly recommend giving Harrison's High Potency Fine Pellets a try. It might just be the answer you've been looking for!"

I was hoping to get my 14-year-old sun conure to start eating this along with his regular diet. I followed the instructions for gradually incorporating it, but he refused to cooperate. Apparently, sun conures never outgrow the toddler phase. My bird strategically nudged this out of his food dish and onto the floor. The good news is that at least my dogs enjoyed it. The food itself seems like great quality, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it for birds that are less picky than mine.

We just recently adopted a new cockatiel who was sadly not in the best condition. Missing a lot of feathers on his stomach area and along his shoulders. Poor baby looked scrawny and a bit bedraggeled. I started adding this to his fresh vegetables and seed mixture. His feathers have started coming in and his appetite is back. They are small pellets and easy for him to eat. They smell fresh and were not stale or mushy, but good and crunchy. They arrived in good condition. My other male cockatiel eats the Harrison's ultra fine in the green bag. Regular potency and he loves it. I know some birds don't care for it at first, but it can be introduced slowly with the other items you're already feeding. My first guy has beautiful feathers and along with fresh vegetables and the Harrison's his diet has kept him healthy and happy. I would definitely recommend this product (along with love and care) for your birds! My new guy is coming along much better now.

My Parrots loved it

The quality of Harrisons's is well understood. The fact that our yellow sided green cheek conure loves it is a big plus- a real relief that she is eating nutritious food. Without complaint. I can recommend this product.

Great experience overall. Fast delivery, well packaged, and product exactly as described. Would definitely order again.

Bien

Happy bird, happy owner.
