Is this Harrisons recommending wing clipping?
Funny how they will never send me sample bags to send out to my customers, they claim 'you need at least a small bag for the bird to get used to it, a sample isn`t enough to tell you anything'!!!

I emailed the first one on this thread asking for some free samples and if they do any discount if i use them to buy all our food (seed and pellets) and all other parrot bits we use for the rescue and didnt get a reply!!

Paula - I got two big bags from the first one - but that's the one that endorses wing clipping apparently

And this the email got back within minutes of sending one off , following Mrs P's email ink she left:

Dear Terry

Thank you for your enquiry about Harrison's Bird Foods.

The food of choice for African Greys is a High Potency Formula Coarse
Ground as this suits their metabolism. Most Greys prefer to hold their
food in their feet and so the coarse pellets suit them better, a few
prefer the smaller size of the fine pellets.


I will send a small sample of both the High Potency Coarse and High
Potency Fine for you to see. Please do realise, however, that this
amount is unlikely to be sufficient to convert your bird to the diet.
Some birds love the food immediately and convert almost instantly, but
for some birds, who are more stubborn or set in their ways, it may be
necessary to purchase a small bag of the food and persist for up to
fortnight. In such situations, however, patience is usually rewarded and
the long-term benefits of improved nutrition in your bird brought about
by changing to Harrison's make the perseverance worthwhile.

I hope this helps

Kind regards

Sheila Stockdale

Received my samples today from Animalzone, got a bag of fruit pellets and a bag of parrot museli. Tried Marley with the fruit ones just now but he just looked at them, picked one up and then threw it on floor before going straight to his nutribird pellets and eating those :laugh:

Sent for the free samples on the 11th, they arrived today 3 small plastic bags with felt tip writing on them "smudged" so could not read what the packs contained one contained flakes the other two were pellets one multi coloured.

Some of you look like you got 1lb packets not in my case, they either got wise to the influx of emails asking for samples or just saving on postage, who knows.

Tried my birds on the multi coloured pellet so far its a  :nono:  could be that its a new feeding bowl or he does not like them, leaving them in overnight.

Polo, my samples came today like yours, in little plastic bags with smudged writing on each one. I guess they've got wise to all of us asking for samples, but hey, we need to try before we buy.  :whistle:
I tried my two on the colored sticks and they chomped their way through a few but then left them so will try again tomorrow. :thumbsup:
Hope they like the parrot muesli as that's whats for brekkie. :thumbsup:
