Here are some suggestions to keep your food fresh without preservatives:Squeeze all air out of the bag and zip it shut at the top.If the zip lock gets removed or damaged, fold the top over several times and close with a clip.Keep food in original bag. Do not repackage into plastic bags or containers.Use contents within 8 weeks of opening bag.Purchase Harrison's foods only in their original packaging.Refrigeration or freezing after opening may help maintain freshness.Feeding PercentagesA bird's daily diet should be 75-80% Harrison's Bird Foods, 15-20% organic dark green leafy or dark yellow meaty vegetables and fruits (including sweet potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, winter squash, broccoli, parsley, spinach, mango or papaya) and 5% omega-rich seeds and nuts (flax, chia, perilla, or JUMPSTART Omega).Do not offer vitamins unless directed by your avian veterinarian. Do not use other formulated diets in conjunction with Harrison's or you could reduce the benefits.ExerciseRecent research has shown that a lack of exercise is a primary factor in the development of diseases, especially atherosclerosis. This appears to be a condition that is present in all captive parrots to some degree and worsens with age.There are a few ways a family can ensure that a pet bird has access to exercise:• Free-flying would be the ultimate exercise, but there are potential associated risks, such as escape or encountering household dangers• Housing in a large enough enclosure to allow free flight• Placing a harness or leash on the bird and have it tethered to an outdoor line under constant observation• Placing a ladder inside the enclosure to encourage movement• Providing safe environmental enrichment activities• Offering daily time for the bird to move around outside the enclosure with supervision
