Career

Harrison moved to South Florida shortly after graduation. Initially he operated a typical all-animal veterinary clinic but later changed the clinic to avian-only. Harrison spent several years developing nutrition formulas for captive birds, and marketing a line of products under the brand "Harrison's Bird Diets". His wife Linda Harrison, an editor, established the veterinary periodical Exotic DVM (A Practical Resource For Clinicians) and both would serve as early leaders of the AAV (Association of Avian Veterinarians).

Harrison also studied the use of rigid endoscopy in the treatment of birds.

Harrison for many years spoke and wrote about bird health, and was frequently quoted in the media and in other publications as an expert on this subject.
