Greg Harrison grew up in a rural community in Iowa and received his DVM degree from Iowa State University in 1967. He established his own private small animal practice in Florida in 1969, and his professional interests involved a wide variety of species, including a stint with zoo animals at Lion Country Safari in West Palm Beach.
The following is an example of a safe and effective method of converting the diets of small birds. A very stubborn pair of budgies who were solely on spray millet were brought to us for a conversion trial. The pair was always ravenous for spray millet but turned up their beaks to anything else we offered.
Note: All birds switching to Harrison's should start out and remain on High Potency Coarse for a period of no less than 8 months. Any dietary changes should be undertaken gradually. An important concern is the bird's refusal to eat a "new" food, leading to significant weight loss. Weighing the bird (in grams) on a daily basis using a gram scale is the best method for monitoring adequate food consumption.
1. Harrison's Bird Bread Mix can be used as an extremely effective conversion tool. Food that the bird currently eats can be added to the mix and baked in the bread. Gradually reduce the amount of that food and replace with the appropriate Harrison's formula. 2. Change the bird's environment. Try moving your bird to a new enclosure, such as a box, aquarium or even a new cage.

Excellent. We used the pellets to wean our scarlet macaw off of his bad human eating habits and overly sunflowers seeds. He is now slowly gaining weight and reaching the correct weight that he should be for his age. It was difficult at first but follow the advise that Harrison's have given in the panflet that comes and don't give up. Our baby (scarlet macaw) is much healthier and also calmer in his behaviour.
