Why Do So Many Avian Veterinarians Recommend Harrison's Power Treats?

Power Treats are much more than a treat—they're an important nutritional tool used by avian veterinarians and breeders around the world.

According to Dr. Friedrich Janeczek of Avifoods (Germany), Power Treats are his most important Harrison's Bird Foods product because of their versatility. They are commonly used for:

✅ Helping medium and large parrots transition from seed diets to Harrison's Bird Foods.

✅ Providing a lifelong, healthy training and reward treat for birds already eating Harrison's.

✅ Supporting the breeding and successful rearing of large macaws and large cockatoos. For Hyacinth Macaws and Palm Cockatoos, a diet consisting of 50% Power Treats and 50% High Potency Coarse has been an essential part of successful breeding programs.

The photos featured here demonstrate the excellent development of parent-reared Hyacinth Macaw chicks maintained on this feeding program compared with chicks raised on a homemade diet.

Whether you're transitioning a picky eater, rewarding positive behavior, or managing a specialized breeding program, Harrison's Power Treats are a valuable addition to your bird's nutritional plan.

Every bird owner should know this...

• Vitamin D3 helps your bird's body use calcium, which is essential for strong bones and overall health.
• A bird can look healthy while it's actually not, so a reliable dietary source matters.
• That's why Ziki eats Harrison's. Their foods are formulated with vitamin D3, giving him a safe and controlled amount as part of his everyday diet.
• You can't know how much Vitamin D3 a companion bird produces from UVB exposure or exactly how much they consume from DIY water or powdered supplements.
• Harrison's gives your bird nutritional certainty, while going outdoors or providing an avian lamp can be an added benefit.

• The plastic dome backpacks and clear window carriers will filter out the beneficial UVB wavelengths that birds need for vitamin D3 synthesis and calcium absorption. They can also restrict airflow. The best carrier option to sit outdoors would be a cage with a shaded area so your bird can have the choice to move away from direct sun.

Turn Your Harrison's Mash into Homemade Bird Bread!

Did you know you can transform Harrison's Adult Lifetime Mash or High Potency Mash into a delicious, nutritious homemade bird bread?

Whether you're looking to add a little variety to your bird's routine or provide a fun enrichment activity, it's easy to make with just a few simple ingredients:

🥚 2 organic eggs
🥥 1 Tbsp organic coconut oil (or another high-quality organic oil)
🥄 1 tsp baking powder
💧 1 cup of water (adjust as needed—every batch is unique, so you may need a little more or a little less water)

Mix everything together, pour into a bread pan or muffin tin, and bake at 350°F for 25–35 minutes.

⚠️ A very important reminder: Never use non-stick cookware when preparing food for your bird. Non-stick coatings, such as PTFE (Teflon), can release fumes that are extremely dangerous—even fatal—to birds when heated. This includes not only baking pans but also cookware used for your own meals.

Have you ever baked bird bread for your flock? We'd love to see your creations! Share a photo in the comments—you never know, we may randomly select a favorite and surprise you with a cash prize! PS- you have to follow us in order to comment :)

🥜 Did you know one of the most common nutritional diseases in companion parrots is almost entirely preventable?

Hypovitaminosis A is still one of the most frequently diagnosed nutritional disorders in pet parrots, and in the vast majority of cases, it is linked to long-term seed-based diets—not because owners don't care, but because the problem develops slowly over many years.

In this new clinical reference, Dr. Bianca Murphy, DVM, DABVP (Avian Practice) explains:
🦜 Why Vitamin A is essential for your bird's health
🦜 Why simply sprinkling vitamins on seeds doesn't solve the problem
🦜 The early warning signs every bird owner should recognize
🦜 How proper nutrition can help prevent this common disease

Whether you share your home with a budgie, cockatiel, African Grey, macaw, or any other companion parrot, understanding the role of Vitamin A can make a lifetime of difference.

“Why would you feed a High Potency diet to an overweight bird?”

It seems counterintuitive... but the answer has nothing to do with calories.

Many overweight parrots are actually malnourished.

For decades, companion birds have been fed seed-based diets that are high in fat but deficient in essential nutrients such as vitamin A, calcium, quality protein, and other vital vitamins and minerals. The result? A bird can be overweight—or even obese—while still suffering from nutritional deficiencies.

That’s why Harrison’s High Potency diet is recommended for both underweight and overweight birds that are nutritionally compromised.

✔️ It’s not simply a higher-calorie diet.
✔️ It provides a higher concentration of essential nutrients per gram, helping correct nutritional deficiencies while supporting recovery.

Remember:
Body weight does not equal nutritional health.

A bird’s diet should be based on its nutritional needs, not just the number on the scale.

Learn why High Potency is often the best starting point for birds transitioning from seed diets in our latest clinical reference by Dr. Bianca Murphy, DVM, DABVP (Avian Practice).
