Char Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Whisper was already on Harrison's when I got her and I kept her on it. That is all that is in her dish while I am gone during the day. When I get home at night I put her on her playstand and give her a few more of the Harrison pellets and also some Zupreem for a little variety. This is also when I give her some sweet potatoe and grapes. Also some of my supper if it is something that is good for her. So she gets about 1/2 Harrisons and the other half is other stuff. I got her some of those Harrisons Palm oil Power Treats but she won't touch them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KY23 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 You can find apple cider vinegar with the 'Mother' at a health food store. I've never seen it in a standard grocery store. I buy mine at a store called Rainbow Blossom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaM Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Char - I think I got those once and not one of mine would touch them. Maybe try breaking them up and mixing in some oatmeal. They're a bit pricey to give to the wild birds outside! :-) KY - I'm going to run to Trader Joe's tomorrow and I'm sure they'll have it. Been reading about it more today and I may start taking about 2 Tbsp myself each day. Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernova Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 My Ben took to Harrison's High potency course first time, in minutes, and will accept anything else when I have none left, so it is not a problem for me to feed her. She is very good with food, I think I must be very lucky. I don't try with anything she reject's after a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranaz Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Mine would only eat 3 or four pieces of the Harisons pellets in the morning when he is so hungry and i offer him nothing else. Im not sure how much he eats out of it because he breaks it into pieces more thatn he really eats... but he likes his veggis and we just tried oat meal, he just took a bit and didnt care for it. He is mainly interested in seeds but I just give him few after leaving him with veggies all day... I dont want him to starve... {Nature-00020095} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raposa Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Jenna loves Harrisons; she will dig them out of her dish if I mix them with Roudybush or Zupreem. I put the Harrisons pellets in all her foraging toys and she goes to town ~grins~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernova Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I feel, I must say after my last post that, My Ben will eat most things but She has the tendency to get aggresive and try to nip after about 4 or 5 days when off Harrisons High Potency course. Having said that she is allways calm as soon as I put her back on it.<br><br>Post edited by: Supernova, at: 2009/03/30 22:36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raposa Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Interesting, Supernova, that you can see a clear difference in Ben's behavior with the change in pellets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tycos_mom Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 my Birds won't eat harrison's my vet said if they won't eat harrison's feed them Zupreem that is the only one that is just as good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 That is interesting that you see a difference in Ben's level of aggression if she is off the Harrisons for a few days, have you asked your vet about that? Maybe she really does love them that much that she gets mad if she doesn't get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsB Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I feed Harrisons. She came to us on Roudybush, and the way the sticks are seemed easier for her to eat, so i considered keeping her on it. BUT! :ohmy: I compared the ingredients on both, GAH!{Characters-0002005F} Roudybush has so much crap in it, Harrisons has only a fraction of the ingredients and it's all stuff I know and I can pronouce it and would eat myself. The Roudybush 3 or 4 ingredients in gets into stuff I cannot pronounce or know what it is! A lot of the word acid in Roudybush, none in Harrisons. She will stay on it forever! {Emotions-000200BE} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Thats because it is organic and because it does not have all those additives it has a shorter shelf life than the others so you cannot buy it by a bigger size than you would use up in a shorter period of time, that is the only drawback.

Sorry Judy just found this, I have not ever been to an avian vet so cant say, I can say that Ben will eat anything I have tried most things, as a treat not very often I may add, She lives on Harrisons and dark greens. But She distroys pistacho nuts is seconds. Bernie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
