weights of parrots

[crimson]

I came across this link on weights of parrots....I was looking up what a Jardine should weigh....we weighed her last week just after we got her.
Her weight was 292grams, yup according to this she's over weight.

I thought it might be of interest

Hehe, my little chunks are 140g. They're not 'overweight' as such, just far too close to the borderline. Keep getting told to get Merlin down to around 130-135g to be on the safer side of things.

Crimson, it's all that bread & pasta from Buca's you've been feeding her.............

Nah, Remington isn't overweight. He is just a HUGE bundle of love.

I knew she has a good weight to her, but I must admit I was a bit surprised.

I can't take any credit for a fat bird on this one weco, we just got her,so we are giving her lots of veggies(which she inhales)

btw, what or who is Buca's?

Buca's is a very good Italian restaurant in West Toronto that a friend introduced me to a couple of years ago.....

Thanks for the link! A very interesting read...

I can't even begin to imagine what a 2.4kg (5.3lb) B&G macaw looks like.
