Harrison’s Adult Lifetime Mash 454g – Organic Bird Food

Harrison’s Adult Lifetime Mash 454g is a complete, certified organic maintenance food for healthy adult birds, supplied as a minimally processed coarse mash rather than a conventional pellet or nugget.

The versatile mash texture can be fed dry, moistened with water or organic fruit juice, added to suitable fresh foods or used in Harrison’s bird-bread recipes. It is particularly useful for birds that prefer a softer texture or greater variety in the way their formulated food is offered.

Adult Lifetime Mash contains no peanuts, sunflower seeds or corn, making it a useful Harrison’s option where these ingredients are being avoided.

Year-Round Maintenance Nutrition

Harrison’s Adult Lifetime diets are formulated for healthy, non-breeding and non-moulting adult birds. Most birds can move onto an Adult Lifetime formula after completing at least six months on an appropriate High Potency diet.

The Mash format provides that maintenance nutrition without pelletising or extrusion, while retaining the convenience of a complete formulated bird food.

Adult Lifetime Mash is versatile and can be:

• Fed dry directly from the feeding bowl
• Mixed with water to create a softer consistency

Suggested Daily Feeding Amounts

These quantities are feeding guidelines rather than strict limits. Individual requirements vary according to species, body condition and activity level.

Fresh Foods & Feeding Balance

Harrison’s recommends that its formulated foods make up approximately 75–80% of the daily diet, with suitable fresh vegetables and fruits making up most of the remainder.

Good choices include dark green leafy vegetables and dark yellow or orange foods such as broccoli, parsley, spinach, carrot, pumpkin, squash, mango and papaya.

Additional vitamin supplementation should not normally be added alongside Harrison’s unless specifically advised by an avian veterinarian.
