Harrison’s formulas were the first and remain the number one veterinary-recommended certified organic pet bird food Worldwide. Dr. Greg Harrison (DVM), the creator of Harrison’s Bird Foods, is a double board-certified avian specialist (retired) with over 50 years of experience in bird care. He transformed his all-bird practice into an avian wellness clinic, incorporating preventive medicine through precise, proper nutrition and this expertise was the forming foundation for all Harrison’s formulas. The formulas were created based on pet bird nutrition (not poultry like most other diets) and formulated by Dr. Harrison, other avian veterinarians, and avian nutritionists. The formulas are backed by over 40 years of successful feeding and breeding trials.
“Harrison’s Bird Foods boost immunity by letting natural ingredients work together, without harmful chemicals. This teamwork, called the entourage effect, makes the food more powerful than any one ingredient alone.”
