If you didn't know

Hey all,

Just in case you guys weren't aware, Harrisons bird food is now trying out a new pepper formula. You may give your local distributor a call for a sample.

Is it any different than their course food? (looks to be HP instead of AL like the course?)

PEPPER LIFETIME COARSE-Harrison's Bird Foods

Only vets in my area carry Harrison's... don't know that any have the trial type. Hmm... Did go to a store yesterday (2 hours away) that carries Harrison's but I don't know if they have the trial type either.

I have not seen this yet from any of my Distributors to buy yet. I am not sure how well it will be received by birds that are already eating and doing well on the HP course.

I feed the HP course with my Too. To try to change her due to the new flavor I probably won't.

Those who's birds like the pepper will get an advantage to the HP for sure if they have any liver or kidney issues if they don't like the original version.

Parrotlets typically love their chillies and they also do better on a lower protein, at least for the mutated parrotlets. The High Potency should be find for Paulie since you are diligent about giving him fresh foods.


If another viewer is looking, I would use caution on too high of protein pellets with mutated parrotlets. Pellets should not make up the bulk of their diet. They should be considered more as a nutritional supplement. The risks are associated with kidney health. Pellets are safer to use if your bird is already an avid veggie eater.
Here is Harrison's analysis to help you make your selection.
