[jimpierce7]

a very good way to keep an eye on your birds health is to regularly weigh them. Rapid weight change could be a sign of something far more serious. In this thread around the first of every month lets all post our birds weights!

can someone suggest a good scale and a source for purchasing ? I need to invest in one and I don't know where to start looking.

[mamalovesrico]

I got mine at Bed Bath and Beyond. Go take a look at their scales, they have a large selection. Mine is made by Salter. It's about 10 inches deep and maybe 6 inches wide. I also weight their food with it. Depending on what kind of bird(s) you have, it works well for my ekkie and my U2 but my GW and M2 need a stand to sit on it.
