Hello! I was at the vet's office recently, and I saw that they had trial packets of Harrison's bird food. They also had a feeding guide by Harrison's. There were a couple of points in the handbook that made me question my current feeding choices, so I started researching at home. I initially wanted to discuss the food change with my vet (and I plan to, this weekend), but I felt that he would have been biased, seeing as their office seems to push Harrison's.
In any case, I usually feed a mix of Zupreem FruitBlend (~30%) + Naturals (~70%). I was already a little iffy about the fact that Zupreem FruitBlend used artificial colors, but the birds seemed to like it, and I never heard a definite reason not to feed it. With that being said, I'd love to hear some opinions on that matter, too!
The Harrison's handbook suggested the High Potency Coarse formula for senegal parrots. I took two trial packets home and allowed my birds to test it. Surprisingly, they seemed willing to eat it! Unsurprisingly, they both preferred the taste of the FruitBlend. Even so, now that I know that they would both be able to comfortably transition, I'm more open to the idea of changing their diet.
I would be eternally grateful if someone could make a little list of pros and cons between the foods!
