Anyone know roughly how much PSI a green cheek has in a bite?
I cant find anything online about it, and have been very curious.
Even just a rough estimate lol.

I think I posted a few links for bird bite psi not too long ago. Maybe a quick search here might help a bit.
Or Google bird bite psi and you should get a few hits

I was hardly able to find anything other than macaw bites.

Yeah, all I’m coming up with here is this.. Bird bite PSI

I did find some more hits with the Google search terms I listed before though. There’s not an awful lot but a bit of digging gets you some idea on psi

I swear I made a post about this, and was able to find the bite force of smaller birds as well, but I cannot find that post for the life of me

I was able to find a site that said small parrots are around 300-400 PSI, but I'm sceptical, considering a dog like a GSD can reach 250...

But then again, dogs might simply do more damage because of teeth and a larger mouth.

Birds need to crack nuts, remove bark and chew holes through wood along many other things do they need a lot of power in them jaws regardless of their size.

I wonder if it's more because it's in a concentrated area, whereas with a dog the pressure is better dispersed?
