Harrison's Bird Foods High Potency Fine

As any Indian Ringneck owner knows, these parrots can be notoriously picky eaters! Finding a food that's both healthy and appealing to them can be a real challenge. That's why I was so thrilled to discover Harrison's High Potency Fine Pellets. My ringneck absolutely loves them! This is actually my second time ordering, which speaks volumes. What's great about Harrison's is the quality. The 'fine' pellet size is perfect for ringnecks, and my bird took to them immediately. A little really does go a long way, making the higher price point completely justifiable. You're paying for premium nutrition, and it lasts. The pellets themselves have a very mild, almost non-existent smell, which I appreciate. (reminds me of organic, healthy baked treats.) Most importantly, I feel good knowing I'm providing my bird with a balanced and nutritious base diet. Of course, Harrison's pellets aren't the only thing I feed him - fresh fruits and vegetables are still a vital part of his daily meals. But having a reliable, well-accepted pellet like this takes the stress out of mealtime. If you're struggling to find a pellet your picky Indian Ringneck will eat, I highly recommend giving Harrison's High Potency Fine Pellets a try. It might just be the answer you've been looking for!"

I was hoping to get my 14-year-old sun conure to start eating this along with his regular diet. I followed the instructions for gradually incorporating it, but he refused to cooperate. Apparently, sun conures never outgrow the toddler phase. My bird strategically nudged this out of his food dish and onto the floor. The good news is that at least my dogs enjoyed it. The food itself seems like great quality, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it for birds that are less picky than mine.

Excellent quality

My birds deserve the best - and this is it! My doves and lovebirds thrive on the fine-size pellets. They needed a few days to switch from seeds - be patient during the gradual transition. Now they love it! Healthier, energetic, and totally worth it.

Since July 17, 2025, I've been feeding my cockatiel Harrison's pellets, recommended for their superior nutritional content. I agree they're a significant improvement over the ZuPreem pellets I previously purchased at PetSmart. However, my nearly 5-month-old cockatiel hasn't fully taken to them, likely due to their hardness. He loves Dr. Harvey’s Colossal Cockatiel Food, which I pair with the pellets. As a final attempt, I plan to crush the Harrison's pellets to resemble millet seeds, which are a similar color, and add a few drops of water to soften them. I hope this encourages my cockatiel to eat more of them, as most pellets currently go to waste.

I was quite reluctant to buy pellets for my pet pigeon. Picking through various seeds and grains with their different tastes, textures, shapes, sizes, colors, etc. is an important part of a captive bird's life. Why would she want to eat a repetitive, homogenous diet any more than I'd like to subsist on nutraloaf? Also, there is research with chickens that shows that birds who eat pellets instead of grains have an atrophied proveniculitus - the organ that helps to grind up seeds with the aid of stones (the grit you should be providing you seed-eating bird). While this is hardly surprising, the research also shows that pellet-fed birds have more harmful bacteria like E.coli, and less beneficial bacteria like lactobacillus in their lower digestive tract. Not a good thing. All that being said, I'll be gone for a month, and wanted to be sure my pigeon would eat a strong balanced diet while I was away and couldn't monitor her exact intake. Since she would be molting then, and also lays two eggs every month, it's crucial that she gets enough protein and calcium. She's a picky one and very conservative, sot he way I usually get her to try new things is by letting in a few of her always- hungry feral pigeon friends to feed on whatever I want her to try. But even that approach is not guaranteed and she needs to see them eat with relish many times before she'll venture to try it herself. Naturally, I though I would have a hard time getting her to eat the pellets. I have noticed she accepts more easily new grains if they are smaller-sized, so I ordered both the high potency fine and extra fine. The extra fine pellets are shaped and sized like millet, which is part of her diet, so I started with those first and was very surprised to see that she loved them straight away - the first time I stretched out my hand she started eating. After she finished the 1lb bag, I offered her the fine, which are the size of milo. She preferred them - clearly, they are the best size for a pigeon, as the company suggests. I offer her an incredibly diverse diet of over 30 different organic-only, human grade seeds, so why feed her pellets that have the same ingredients minus many she's already getting. Well, because she doesn't eat every type of seed just because it's there, and also because she loves the pellets and now expect them. I'm still ambiguous about pelleted diets, so I still don't feed her pellets only, but they contriburet for an even more varied feeding experience. They are like a treat of which she can have as much as she wants. I also have a lot of feral pigeon visitors that I feed and they have a range of reactions to the pellets: from not wanting to touch them to fighting over them over all the other seeds. I notice the females tend to be the ones that really, really like them. Perhaps it’s the calcium content they are responding to. I have bought specially made pigeon pellets for them before, but they don’t like them nearly as much as the Harrison’s. If you are looking to switch your bird to pellets, I feel you can’t do better the Harrison's, at least according to my pigeon. Since I've been offering her the pellets, she has gained weight. Initially I was quite happy, now I'm not so sure. She doesn't have a cage so can get all the exercise she cares to get, but I may have to start restricting her intake, as right now food is on offer all the time. I got the pellets from Bird Depot through Amazon with free super saver shipping. They arrived fast, but the extra fine bag was within only one month of expiration, and that is not good enough when it comes to food, so my next order was directly from Harrison's and smelled amazingly deliciously fresh. The free shipping here is nice, but Harrison's price is lower so it worked out to be the same.

I sure hope this product continues in production.

The quality of Harrisons's is well understood. The fact that our yellow sided green cheek conure loves it is a big plus- a real relief that she is eating nutritious food. Without complaint. I can recommend this product.
