Bountiful Harvest Storage

[Jenlynn]

So I just bought some bountiful harvest from my safe bird store and I know I've heard others on this forum talk about it. It seems more moist this time, maybe its fresher...and I'm not sure I remember it being vaccuumed packed last time. I bought about enough to last me a month or two...how do you store it long term? Fridge or Freezer? How long can it stay out at room temperature?

It smells absolutely amazing and I don't want it to lose that freshness, or have it go bad... I gave Niles and Mango extra tonight since I just opened it and Mango is making his happy conure ducky sounds and Niles hasn't lifted his head from his bowl... A few times I caught him with 1 piece in his beak and a 2nd in his claw, as if he was trying to eat it all at once until he dropped one...

Oh I know that scent. Nice isn't it? Most of it is freeze dried. I do not put it in frig. You must have a fresh batch. It is amazing food for our birds.

I just keep it in a ziploc bag at room temperature and I haven't had any issues with it so far.

It's a food mix that you can by from MySafeBirdStore.com. There is a version with pellets, as well as one without pellets. It has a lot of dried fruits and veggies, as well as nuts, seeds, and some herbs.

When you go to their website, it's under the My Safe Bird Blends tab.

Its awesome, you definitely should. I mix it with Higgins Mayan harvest which is more seed based vs veggie fruit based. I get the no pellet and feed it with my roudybush.
