Harrisons Bird Food: Adult Lifetime vs High Potency

Quick answer

Choose High Potency for the first six months or when your bird needs extra nutrition; switch to Adult Lifetime for healthy, non-breeding, non-moulting birds after that period.

Key trade-offs at a glance

• High Potency for first six months: Start all birds on High Potency and keep them on it for at least six months to ensure they get maximum nutrition during the transition.
• Switch to Adult Lifetime after six months: Once your bird is healthy, non-breeding, and non-moulting, you can switch to Adult Lifetime to maintain a balanced diet without extra calories. Monitor your bird's weight and condition after switching to confirm it thrives on the maintenance formula.
• Choose particle size by bird size: Fine for small to medium birds, coarse for medium to large birds. Match the size to your bird's beak and eating habits.
