Feeding Harrisons---modifying mike's manna mash

[TinyTimneh]

Hey all,

 

There'll be some major changes coming my way in about a month and a half--I'll be moving in with my mother into the small community of just under 10,000 people in which she lives.

Obviously this means some major changes for my flock, some good (no dogs so plenty of out of cage time , run of the whole house etc) and some bad (alot of hawks and free-roaming dogs/cats).

One of the awesome things is there is a local grocery shop right across the street (I can see it from my window) that usually has a ton of veggies because agriculture is big in the community. With that, I've decided to make a major overhaul in the birds' diet and will be feeding them mike's manna mash as the majority of their diet (haven't quite decided the ratio yet, but it will be at least half). In that I'm away at school for the morning fresh foods aren't an option because they'll spoil--so I need a pellet/seed mix for the morning--and want to switch onto harrisons.

The mash recipe calls for several supplement powders and I'm wondering if I should remove them so my birds won't get a toxic dose of vitamins--but if harrisons is only going to be (in my tiels case, seeing as I'm worried about the protein content being too much for her) anout 25% of their diet---will they be getting enough vitamins from the pellets?
