Harrison's Organic Premium Pellets HOPP Bird Food

HOPP is the newest thing Harrison's have done in years, and the most practical. It is a certified organic, complete daily diet built specifically for companion birds weighing 450 grams and under — which covers most of the birds people actually keep.

The older Harrison's range is organised around what a bird is doing: High Potency while converting or breeding, Adult Lifetime once settled. HOPP is simpler. It is one balanced food, formulated for lifelong health, that you feed and stop thinking about.

Which birds this is for

Small to medium pet birds up to 450 g: cockatiels, budgies (parakeets), lovebirds, conures, quakers, caiques, parrotlets and smaller parrots. Larger parrots want the Coarse formulas.

How to feed it

• Birds may eat as much as they want — this is a free-feeding diet.
• Replace uneaten food daily.
• Fresh organic fruit and vegetables may make up around 20% of the total diet.
• Do not add vitamin or mineral supplements. HOPP is balanced as it stands and supplementing can tip it.
• Keep the feeding dishes clean.

HOPP or High Potency?

If your bird is already eating pellets, healthy and under 450 g, HOPP is the straightforward everyday choice. If it is converting off seed, breeding, weaning, moulting hard or recovering from illness, the High Potency formulas are the ones designed for that, and Harrison's ask for six months on High Potency during a conversion. Ask your avian vet if you are unsure which stage your bird is at.

Storage

Reseal after every use and keep cool, dry and dark. Harrison's Stay Fresh pushes the oxygen out of an open bag with nitrogen and keeps the oils from going stale — worth it on the 5 lb.

Questions we get asked

Why is HOPP cheaper than High Potency?
It is a maintenance-level formula rather than the high-nutrition conversion diet, and it is made at a different scale. It is not a lesser-quality food — it is certified organic, complete and balanced.

My bird is 500 g. Can I still feed it?
Harrison's specify 450 g and under. Just over, and it will not do harm, but the Coarse formulas are the better fit for a larger bird.

Can I switch straight from another pellet?
Usually yes, and most birds take it within a week. Weigh daily during any diet change.

How long does 5 lb last?
Around three to four months for a single cockatiel fed alongside fresh vegetables.
