bird weigh ins

[Skyebirdsmom]

Skye(HRC) Blue Pacific Parrotlet(11mos.) 28 gms.
I also weigh weekly out of habit. He's so tiny that even a couple of grams lost is important.

Hard to believe that this week is February already! Where did January go?
Anywho, this Friday is the first Friday of the month and time to weigh-in. If you have already posted last month's weights, just edit your post. I weigh mine each week and post them.

Tiels can weigh from 80 gms + Mine weighed 104 gms, but she was kinda like a plump partridge, LOL

Surprisingly found my scale, so all i need now is a 9 volt battery (saying that the scale survived the wash, then air drying! it was so dirty it was sticky!) Then I might be able to get some weights from my birds! Need that batteri first.... hmmmm....

Okay, I was finally able to weigh my birds!

153g - cherry head conure, 9yrs old???, Noel

92g - female cockatiel, 3 1/2 yrs old, Casey (she is kind of pudgy though always exploring)
84g - male cockatiel, 6yrs old?, Clyde (came to me probably around 70gs, gained 2 grams since vet visit)

43g - male budgerigar, 5yrs old, Smurf
47g - male budgerigar, 9yrs old?, Cosmo (he is larger than Smurf, though he is still overweight since he became less active... hmmm)

38g - female bourke, 2 1/2 yrs old
43 - female bourke, 6yrs old??? (larger than her younger sister)

Casey is a bit pudgy but she is normally exploring my room and lookin outside. She of course enjoys eating out of everyones dish... silly pig!

Cosmo has become less active as he use to be. His mate passed away about 4 years ago, so he has never closely bonded to another bird since then (unless it has been a male). He would most likely be more active in an aviary outside, if I was able to build one... Smurf use to weigh less though he really enjoys his new foods now that he'll go nuts over fresh foods! Noel's weight thoguh I don't know if that would be around average, and she is even a bit small supposedly for the type that she is...
