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.

This formula has added spicy peppers and can be fed as a complete diet, or as a treat, to all birds who enjoy a spicy pepper flavour.

Available as a 454g bag.

  • small birds, ⅛g - 1½g per day
  • medium birds, up to 3g per day
  • large birds, up to 9g per day

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.
