Je me permets de mettre ici pour que tout le monde le lise ce que Harrisons disent au sujet de leur moulée sur leur site:
THE HIGH POTENCY FORMULAS should be fed to birds that are being converted from seeds or any other diet. Birds should initially be fed High Potency Formula for a period of at least 6 months
HIGH POTENCY COARSE
A Certified Organic Maximim Nutrient Formula
for Medium to Large Parrots
FOR USE IN BIRDS:
• as a year round formula for African greys,
large macaws, Queen of Bavaria conures and
other medium to large parrots.
• that have special needs such as birds that
are molting, overweight, underweight,
particularly active, housed in a cold climate,
recovering from an illness or affected by liver
or kidney disease.
• that are weaning. Birds should be fed High
Potency Formula for at least 6-9 months.
• that are breeding.
Supplementation
It is not recommended to supplement with vitamins or other bird or animal food products. Supplementation should be limited to no more than 10% of the overall diet. Offer certified organic vegetables and fruits in small quantities; select dark yellow meaty or dark green leafy items such as sweet potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, winter squash, broccoli, parsley, spinach, mango or papaya.
[For birds with suspected iron-storage disease: Avoid citrus fruits, tomatoes, kiwi, strawberries and other foods containing vitamin C. Avoid grapes, currants, raisins, liver, red meat, egg yolk or dark green vegetables such as spinach, which may contain high levels of iron.]
Guaranteed Analysis: Crude protein (min.) 18%, crude fat (min.) 15%, crude fiber (max.) 6.5%, moisture (max.) 10%.
Donc je retiens que c'est ok de donner en tout temps la High Potency pour un gris, et qu'on peut supplémenter à maximum 10% de la diète quotidienne, et ils suggèrent tous les fruits et légumes qui sont riches en bétacarotène (donc vitamine A).

Harrison’s Bird Foods or as a supplement for

nails), balding of the feet, lack of sheen and

POWER TREATS
With Certified Organic Brazilian Red Palm Fruit Oil
A Certified Organic, Tasty, Toasted Healthy Supplement for all Companion Birds
Feeding Directions:
• feed 1 piece Power Treats per 3 pieces of Coarse Ground Formula
• may make up to 30% of diet.
Guaranteed Analysis: Crude protein (min.) 13%, crude fat (min.) 15%, crude fiber (max.) 7%, moisture (max.) 10%
Donc selon moi tous ces bienfaits de la Power Treats viennent de l'huile de palme rouge, et donc selon moi il ne devrait pas y avoir de risque pour rajouter de l'huile de palme à la diète d'un gris!
Et pour conclure, tu peux toujours lui mélanger l'huile de palme dans quelque chose d'autre que sa moulée, genre avec la nourriture de table que tu lui donnes (pâtes, beurre d'arachide ou d'amande, purée de légumes, etc...)
