Currently I am feeding my blue and gold macaw Zupreem pellets and fresh fruit and veg. She is less than 2 years old and enjoys trying new things. I have always heard very good things about Harrison's and wanted to try it out. So far she loves these new pellets right out of the bag. I have not fully switched her over as I want to use up the rest of the other food she was eating, but once she is completely out I will be feeding only Harrison's. Before making any purchase for my birds I always check into the company making the product and do some research about the product itself. Often being disappointed in the lack of information available. That is certainly not the case with Harrison's. Their website is packed full of information about their company and the products they are very proud to make as well as tips for taking care of your bird. You can also find helpful information on converting your feathered friend from other diets to Harrison's This product is certified organic and contains no artificial preservatives. The bag itself is made out of very strong material and has a zip lock at the top to ensure the product remains fresh in the bag. They do not recommend storing the food in another container. This is a great feature because then you don't have to have other containers to help keep the food fresh. The only downside is that this product cost more than most other foods out there. But it is well worth it. The most important thing you can do for your feathered friend is to feed it the best food you can provide.

The only food my bird likes.

I struggled in the beginning to get my Eclectus to eat this. I bought this food at the advice of my veterinarian. My eclectus also gets fresh organic fruits, veggies, bean mix and small amount of nuts everyday. Fruits, bean mix and veggies are the main staple of his diet. He also had a tendency to want to eat sunflower seeds and other seeds only, which is not good for Eclectus to over eat. seeds. Especially not sunflower seeds. So, when taking him to the vet, my vet found that he was a bit low in weight and had a little bit of high liver enzymes. He asked if I was giving him pellets. I was giving him the natural Zupreem pellets but he didn't want to eat them. So what i did to get him to eat these is: First Week:. I cut up the pellets and mashed it up with the juice from the blackberries I mixed in his favorite fruit. His favorite fruits are blueberries, pomegranate and blackberries. So I would squish the blackberry juice for example, all over the pellets to let them soak up the juice and mash it all up. Also left a few pellets in their usual size but let them soak up juice. Then I threw in the rest of the blackberry in with it. At first he would just eat the parts of the blackberries he could pick out. (I still continued to let him have seeds) Second Week: I cut pellets in half ( because he won't bite into nuts or pellets that are too hard) But I no longer mashed the pellets up. He was picky so I continued the same thing ( Also I fed a few to my dogs and when he saw them eating it and heard the crunch crunch, he tried to pick up his pellets and then threw them down) (I ate a few myself, I have to say they are tasty and taste like sunflower seeds with no salt) Third Week: I began just soaking the pellets in his blackberry juice. (Juice of the blackberry only) ....continued his sunflower and seeds, but less of them (I had to go slow taking away his sunflower seeds because he actually got moody when I didn't give them to him) Fourth Week: Continue the same as third week but put less juice of the blackberry. (Really went down on seeds, like just a few) Fifth Week: By this time I cut only some of the Harrison's pellets up and left some the normal size. Then late at night I put a bowl of frozen Harrison's so by morning they were ready to eat. Sixth Week: All of a sudden early morning I heard him chomping away on the pellets. I couldn't believe it!! By the sixth week he doesn't eat seeds anymore. By the sixth week he was ready to for a new bag! Keep the bag frozen in your freezer and it will last the six weeks. But if you just put them in the fridge this big bag only lasts up to 10 days. Note: My vet says he is alot more healthy and very good weight. But, I did find he was getting a bit hyper and aggressive. My vet said it may be the spirulina in the Harrisons becuase some Eclectus act like that when they eat spirulina. So what he had me do is give him less of the Harrison's and add a little bit of the Zupreem Pellets or RoudyBush. He said if he takes the RoudyBush, I can give him RoudyBush instead if I want to, but he still thinks the Harrison's is much more healthy. I do have to say I can see an improvement in his color and he does have alot more energy since eating Harrison's. When I first got him, he didn't want to move around much or climb any of his toys on his jungle gym. Now? Oh my gosh he climbs to the top like a little monkey! Will continue buying Harrisons I am very happy with him and so is he!

seems like quality feed, my birds pick at it

Well, I will say the bird that I purchased it for will not touch it, but I have two smaller birds that absolutely love it. So well, it is not their staple pallet, I do use it as a bedtime treat, and I give them to each. I again had originally ordered this course or larger pellet for my Amazon and she is a picky eater and will not touch it.

Perfect for my parrot

Me lo recomendó la veterinaria. Mi loro es ya muy mayor y necesita vigilar la alimentación. Probé varias marcas y esta es la que más le gusta y parece que le sienta muy bien.

Been using this product for years. Really good for my african grey

Conoscevo molto bene questo prodotto e lo considero al vertice tra gli estrusi per pappagalli

Mit Palmgloss mischen… fertig und meine Papagei mag es und sie verträgt es

Good
