Proper nutrition is as important to the health of your bird as it is to your own health. Birds that spend their life eating “junk food” are more likely to encounter complications with their health and livelihood. A majority of commercial and homemade diets stimulate breeding and egg production, which may result in calcium deficiency, egg binding, and other medical conditions. Even diets that claim to be fortified with vitamins lack the proper nutrition your bird needs and may contain pesticides and other harmful components. Birds being fed commercial diets may exhibit aggression, picking, and excessive egg laying. Seed diets, table food, homemade food, and other diets lack essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids and are commonly high in fat. Harrison’s Bird Food is a complete, balanced, USDA certified organic diet. Providing all the essential nutrients that a bird needs, Harrison’s is a positive foundation for good health for your bird. Healthy birds are well balanced inside and out. 
Feathers should be sleek and brightly colored, not dull and rough around the edges. Skin, beak, and nails should be smooth, soft, and show no signs of peeling or cracking. A bird’s weight should be well balanced in order to avoid pressure sores on their feet and serious medical conditions. Before starting a diet of Harrison’s Bird Food with your avian friend, it is important to schedule an appointment to discuss your bird’s health with their veterinarian. We at Animal Central recommend a gradual change from their current diet to a Harrison’s diet; a slower change in food is best for your bird as careful monitoring is necessary during the transition. (Please refer to our previous blog for further details on how to transition your bird to Harrison’s at: http://animalcentral.net/blog/transitioning-to-harrison-bird-food/).
