About Harrison Bird Foods Harrison Bird Foods Products Using Our Foods Where To Buy Learning Center Frequently Asked Questions

During his 36 years as an active avian practitioner and international speaker Dr. Greg J. Harrison sought to reduce the use of drugs in his patients by enhancing the bird’s own immune system. Along the way, he developed a practical, well bird philosophy, which translated into the creative use of unique quality remedies that really worked to boost the health of his patients.
We are proud to make some of these remedies available to everyone with a product line called AVIx.

The following AVIx products are complementary to your HBD wellness program.
