Weight

Is it normal for my gcc to be 2 grams lighter in the morning and then when he eats after he is more? Thanks !

Yes, it is. Birds have a very fast metabolism so they will lose some weight overnight, as long as it's not too much change, your Theo is fine.

+/- 2 gram fluctuate in gcc normal.
Look for trends over several days

SO good that you weigh him; one of the easiest way to get a bead, if your parrot is sick is a weight loss. Best thing is to weigh him in the morning, AFTER he has taken his first big poop of the day,, and at the same time every day. That way small fluctuations from eating won't get you upset. I always recommend keeping a log of weight.
