Dear Morena

Harrisons is organic and as such has no preservatives and if left out in the heat and opened it can start to sprout bugs. (ALL bird food has bug eggs as it grows outside, most pellets do not but as Harrisons is not cooked at a very high temperature to preserve the nutrients, it can still retain a few viable bug eggs.

If the food has been kept closed and cool it can still be used for a few more months, but if left out and open, it may not be as tasty to your birds, like if you left a bag of chips on the counter open for a few days, they can get stale.

Here is a pellet conversion chart to help convert your birds to pellets.

Don't waste the food, break it up and bake in corn muffins for your bird, use it up.

Some birds will not take to pellets no matter how hard you try so sometimes it is just best to stay on a diet with a few seeds, fruits, vegetables, bits of proteins like a chicken wing or scrambled eggs. basically anything you can eat, so can they. But no coffee, no chocolate, no avocado.
