Im thinking this thread could be a big help to people new and experienced with birds, helping them compare the weights of the same species of bird with different owners. I know I'm always weighing Ice, and it gives piece of mind knowing someone else's bird weighs close to what your bird does!
well i can do my tiels i have not weighted my others will add them when i can weight them
sparkles tiel 96 grams
tweety tiel 105 grams
sunny tiel 102 grams
angel 100 grams
i will add dusty my CAG and kiwi GCC and flower Budgie when i can my dog is staying in the house with her puppies and i can not let them out like usual she is a bird dog i only know the tiels because i weight them when my daughter took the dog out for a walk i have been watching their weight cause i finally got them switched to pellets
I don't catch my Tiels without reason, so not all weights are upto date.
but it is always good to have basic idea of weights, just in case.
In saying that I see my notes have not been updated for Zinny and Angel. The vet will have their weights from their vet check. But they have not been added to my data file.
Edit: 3/09/2012 Caught Zinny and Angel and have added their weights
Henry 105g
Max 101g
Tinkerbell 89g
Snowy 89g
Zinny 108g
Angel 115g
Juli the way I do it is I have a kitchen scale that weights in ounces or grams... The smaller the increment the better, also tare function is a must. I have a couple of birds that will stand on a folded towel on the scale so I just tare out the weight of the towel ( this resets the scale to 0 with the weight of the towel on it so when you place a bird on it all you see is the weight of the bird ) and set my bird on... For the budgies who will not sit on the scale I use a small travel cage which I again tare to 0 and then put a bird in the cage to get their weight. Some people use a small plastic container with a top on it instead of a cage.. You can also buy bird scale's that have a perch on them , but the ones I have seen are kinda pricy .
Rocky.... Amazon ....weight 487grams
Opey.....Quaker......weight 110grams
DJ..........Ringneck.......weight 118grams but DJ is only 6 months old
Brandi......cag..........weight.....380grams
