High Potency Mash

The scoop in any images is shown for illustrative purposes only.

Part of the Harrison's range of complete, certified organic, foods for pet birds, High Potency diets are suitable for almost all birds starting on Harrison's, and as a year round formula for birds with special requirements. The Mash is a coarse powder for birds that prefer a powder rather than a solid piece. It is minimally processed - some ingredients are toasted and rolled, but the diet is not pelletized or extruded. It can be served 'as is', or can be sprinkled onto fruit or moistened with fruit juice or water and then shaped as needed.

Available as a 454g bag.

RECOMMENDED USES

• For birds that are being converted from seeds or any other diet, and prefer this coarse powder, rather than 'pieces' (this is often smaller birds such as finches or canaries). Birds should initially be fed High Potency Formula for a period of at least 6 months before switching to an Adult Lifetime Formula. See Dr Harrison explain the benefits of High Potency diets for birds who are converting here
• For birds that have special needs such as birds that are molting, overweight, underweight, particularly active, housed in a cold climate, recovering from an illness or affected by liver or kidney disease.
• For birds are weaning. Birds should be fed High Potency Formula for at least 6-9 months.
• For birds that are breeding.

FEEDING DIRECTIONS

• Feed fresh Harrison's daily - don't just 'top up' older food
• To help reduce waste, feed as distinct meals
• Birds may eat all they want, but use the table below as a guideline

Suggested daily amounts

Feeding of additional items

• Harrison's products should make up 75-80% by volume of your bird's diet.
• It is recommended that 20-25% by volume of the overall diet should be good quality, ideally organic, vegetables and fruits. Dark yellow meaty, or dark green leafy, items such as sweet potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, winter squash, broccoli, parsley, spinach, mango or papaya are the most beneficial.
• It is not recommended to supplement with vitamins or other bird or animal supplementary products.

[For birds with suspected iron-storage disease: Avoid citrus fruits, tomatoes, kiwi, strawberries and other foods containing vitamin C. Avoid grapes, currants, raisins, liver, red meat, egg yolk or dark green vegetables such as spinach, which may contain high levels of iron.]
