How much should a blue and Gold Macaw weigh?

[LoveMyBeak]

On her second day here I got Hannah on a scale and she is 815 grams, is that normal for a 9 month old B&G? She is Gobbling down everything I give her and from the looks of it she has never experienced bout 99% of what I am giving her, she seems to act like she doesn't even know how to chew it up. I am pretty sure that the guy I got her from was only having her on a small seed diet other than the formula that he was feeding her(no wonder she took so long to ween)..........LMB

I would say that's a good weight for a 9 mo old. The important thing is she's eating well and eating healthy and has a good healthy variety of foods to choose from.

From what my avian vets have told me, an adult can weigh anywhere from 900 to 1500 g's. Just don't get them fat. My vet told me obesity is worse than having them run a little on the lean side.
