The Hatching of Harrison’s Bird Foods

In a small town in rural America, Greg Harrison launched his career in veterinary medicine. Born and raised in rural Iowa, Harrison had always nurtured a fascination with animals. His path led him to Iowa State University, where he pursued his dreams of becoming a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM). After graduating, he set up his own small animal practice, eventually leading him to Florida’s sunny shores in 1969.

Relocating his practice across the country, his own wings expanded. There, amidst a wide array of species, Harrison had the chance to work with magnificent creatures at Lion Country Safari in West Palm Beach. His work took flight, and there he discovered that his true passion was for pet bird species. The year was 1973 when fate intervened, presenting Harrison with a unique opportunity to embark on a remarkable journey.

This twist of fate launched a different plan for Harrison when a devastating chlamydiosis outbreak struck a large aviculture-pet shop facility. Harrison’s expertise was urgently sought to resolve this crisis. Little did he know that this pivotal moment would shape the course of his life and ignite his unwavering dedication to pet bird species.
