FEEDING OF ADDITIONAL ITEMS: Harrison's products should constitute 75-80% of your bird's overall diet. It is advisable that 15-20% of the diet comprises high-quality, preferably organic, vegetables and fruits. Dark yellow or dark green leafy options like sweet potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, winter squash, broccoli, parsley, spinach, mango, or papaya offer significant benefits. Including 5% of the diet with high-quality, ideally organic, sources of omega-3s is also recommended; examples include chia seeds, hemp seeds, flax seeds, or specific nuts.
