Harrisons Recovery Formula is a complete nutritional support formula for sick or injured birds.

It is scientifically designed to provide the levels of energy, protein and other essential elements required by the bird during and following illness.

Harrisons Recovery Formula has a high level (35%) of quality protein and contains no complex sugars, which are known to induce diarrhoea in some species of birds, also making it ideal for hand rearing species of wild birds that have a high protein requirement such as swifts, robins, pipits and dunnock.

Suitable as a hand feeding and rehabilitation formula for most wild birds especially those that are highly insectivorous e.g. swifts, pipits, robins etc.

Use as the initial food for hand feeding doves and pigeons less than 10 days old.

  • For birds needing an easily assimilated source of nutrients.
  • For medical and surgical patients that are recovering from pansystemic failure.
  • For nutritional support of a bird during the transition phase of a diet change.
  • For birds in which anorexia has slowed gastrointestinal emptying time.
  • Also used as a handfeeding diet for growth from hatching to fledging of small insectivorous birds with an apparent inability to digest corn-starch. Species include bushtits, wren-tits, vireos, wrens & smaller flycatchers and warblers.

Caution: The correct feeding technique must be used in order to prevent injury to the bird or inhalation of the formula that could result in pneumonia and death. If using a non-metal or flexible tube, be sure that the bird does not damage the tube.

Step 1: Gently feel the crop to determine that it is almost empty before feeding.

Step 2: Mix fresh: 1 part dry formula to 1-3 parts bottled “drinking water” heated to approximately 103°F (39°C). Do not microwave. Allow to cool to lukewarm.

Step 3: Feeding with a tube is probably the most universally successful technique. As one faces the bird, position the tube to enter the oral cavity from the left side of the bird’s beak and direct it toward the right side of the bird’s neck. Deposit the food into the bird’s crop.

Step 4: Feed the bird until the crop is full but not overstuffed and clean the excess formula from the bird’s beak, feathers and enclosure. Repeat as often as needed to maintain or increase the bird’s body weight.
