{"product_id":"harrisons-adult-lifetime-coarse","title":"Harrison's Adult Lifetime Coarse Organic Bird Food","description":"\u003cp\u003eAdult Lifetime Coarse is the everyday diet — the bag a healthy, settled, fully converted parrot stays on for the rest of its life. It is certified organic and Non-GMO Project Verified, built from whole grains and legumes rather than adapted from poultry feed, with the vitamins, minerals and balanced omega-3 and omega-6 fats a companion bird actually needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is leaner than High Potency, and that is the point. A bird that is no longer converting, breeding, weaning or recovering does not need 13.5% fat; feeding a rich formula indefinitely is how a pet Amazon ends up overweight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich birds this is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMedium to large parrots: African greys, Amazons, cockatoos, macaws, pionus and large conures.
