sources for scales

Any recommendations on scales and sources for them? Anything I should look for feature wise? I looked on line and it's kinda confusing, as there are so many. I would like to be able to keep track of my eclectus' weight.

I got my scale at Target for $30 in the kitchen section. They also sell some online for $20 and they measure to the nearest gram. Wal-Mart also sells them as well but the one I bought there didn't work.

i got mine on ebay for about $32 including shipping. it can weigh stuff up to 5000g, and it came with a little bowl (useful if you are weighing squirming little babies).

I started out on my old triple beams. That didn't work well as one might guess.

So I got a postage one from Staples that works good for a reasonable price.
