    Vegetables and Fruits

    - See individual species for specific suggested items.
    - Use of a gram scale is encouraged.

    Omega 3

    - Harrison's suggests a maximum of 10% of the daily diet be made up of rich sources of omega 3 items (organic chia, flax, hemp seeds etc. as well as certain nuts high in omega 3)
    - Use of a gram scale is encouraged.

    Additional Needs

    - The importance of exercise in pet birds cannot be understated. Learn more about ways for your bird to exercise.
    - Some bird species require regular access to direct sunlight for optimal health.
    - Life enrichment, ie; foraging activities, puzzle toys, frequent social interaction and other enrichment methods are necessary to keep most pet birds healthy and happy. A lonely, bored pet bird is more sucseptible to illness than a busy, active bird.

    I've had my Senegal since 2006, and she's been on Harrison's since it was suggested at her very first vet visit. Regular was fine, but she loves the Pepper! I am absolutely sure that her good health is due in part to the quality of this food. Thanks for that!

    If you have a pellet resistant bird, try this! 12/1/2021
    My 35-year-old Amazon is very picky when it comes to pellets and most brands have ended up in the trash (including the non-pepper Harrison's). I don't know why I bought Pepper Lifetime Coarse, but he loves it, and it's helped me cut back on seed mix. Of course he still gets fresh veggies every night!

    Thinking about a diet change? 4/26/2014
    My bird would only pick at the regular flavor pellets, but she LOVES the pepper flavor. I have an Eclectus that is extremely fussy!

    My Amazons love Pepper Lifetime Coarse. 2/10/2014
    Every Amazon I have been fortunate to room with has loved and do love their Harrisons Pepper Lifetime Coarse pellets. I was fortunate to learn of this product from Dr. Anne MacDonald at the Nightowl Bird Hospital in Vancouver B.C., yes Canada. My latest DYH does not want to eat anything else in formulated food since I managed to wean him onto this product within 2 weeks of adopting him.

    A+ for spicy birds 7/25/2013
    If your bird loves pepper fresh or dried as much as or more than fruit flavors, this is a must have!! My gray doesnt toss even one square of the Pepper Lifetime out of his cage. That says it all.
