Available only through your veterinarian, you can feed Harrison's Bird Diets with confidence and ease. We are also certain that as your bird's body adjusts to these healthy ingredients, you will see a definite improvement in its appearance and perhaps even in its behavior. Harrison's Bird Diets are usually eaten when they are first offered, but some birds may require coaxing, especially if they have been eating only seeds. Then mix small amounts of Harrison's Bird Diets with the seed, gradually increasing the amount while reducing the seeds to zero. DO NOT supplement with vitamins, cuttlebone, oyster shells, pellets, egg, meat, cheese, nuts, sunflower, safflower or other seeds or other pet foods.
Some birds switch the first day, others are slow to accept a new food.
The diet must be refrigerated or frozen once it is opened and you must discard any uneaten portion in the birds dish after 24 hours. Pellets that have fallen to the bottom of the cage can be recycled if they are not soiled. First you should try offering your bird his regular diet twice a day for 30 minutes. We are not restricting HOW MUCH food we are giving him, only WHEN he can eat it. If he starts to eat this, then begin weaning him over to the pelleted diet.
