White Cap Pionus Weight
I've been reading many different weights from websites on the WC pionus

but its so big of a jump I don't know which to go for

some say 180 others say 250 to even 280!

so I wanted to know first hand from you guys, how much does your WC pionus weigh?

There's a wide range just like there is no single target weight for a human. What's overweight for one bird could be perfectly normal for another.

But my WC Pi weighs around 208-210g.

I had the same problem when I got Monty. I was so worried he was underweight. He weighs 190 grams no matter what, lol.
