Key Benefits

• Coarse organic nuggets developed for medium to large parrots

Who Is This Food For?

Suitable for healthy adult medium to large birds including:

• Pionus parrots
• Amazons
• African greys
• Large cockatoos
• Large macaws
• Other similar-sized medium to large parrots

Adult Lifetime formulas are generally introduced after a bird has completed at least 6 months on an appropriate Harrison’s High Potency formula. Birds that are breeding, moulting, recovering, still growing or have particular nutritional requirements may need to remain on High Potency for longer.

Some species and individual birds may also benefit from remaining on a High Potency diet year-round. An avian veterinarian can advise on the most suitable feeding programme for your bird.
