    25% - Organic dark green leafy, yellow meaty fresh veg & low sugar fruit

    FINCH: 1 - 1¾g
    BUDGIE: 1 ½ - 3g
    COCKATIEL: 2 - 5g

    Vegetables and Fruits

    - For most small birds, Harrison's suggests offering 20% fresh, nutrient-dense, organic vegetables and sprouts.      
    - 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.

    An easy conversion 7/1/2020
    I knew I wanted to switch my newly acquired Bourke parakeets to a pellet based diet over the traditional seed based even though they love their greens as well. By gradually mixing in the mash with the seed I had them completely switched to Harrison’s HP mash within one week. They even seem to prefer the mash to seed so I haven’t even been offering seed anymore. They absolutely love it. Oddly they seem to even have reduced the amount of veggies they’re eating as well. They’re still eating greens but not near the volume they once were. My guess is that they truly are getting most of the essentials they need from the mash.

    Perfect for my bird! 6/5/2018
    My cockatiel Mel had his beak damaged by a larger bird in my aviary. It was very difficult to get him to eat any other dry foods after. Wet foods quickly became a mess. So we switched to Mash and he has been doing well for 8 months now. Starting to molt for the first time ever!
