She has been to the vet before- I’d have to contact them to see what they have. And I gotta find where our scale wentI have a kitchen scale that I used to weigh the budgie boys on. As long as it is digital and has a mode to weigh in grams, that would work. (PS I now have a scale with a built-in perch for weighing the boys).
Has your girl been to the vet before? Do you have any historic weight information for her?
Thanks! Just wondering- what is the keel bone?It is beneficial to know the weight of your bird but it’s not the best way to determine if your bird is a healthy weight unless you already know what your birds healthy weight is.
It’s best to check the keel bone to check your birds condition than just rely on the actual weight of your bird.
What is a healthy weight for one budgie may be too thin or chunky for another.
I found out how to tell if the keel bone looks healthy, and hers seems to stick out to the sides a bit. She won’t cooperate for pictures, but I tried.It is beneficial to know the weight of your bird but it’s not the best way to determine if your bird is a healthy weight unless you already know what your birds healthy weight is.

I see what you mean with the keel bone now! Felipe’s seems normal if not a bit above, but she’s taking a nap right now so I’ll have to look later.I’m not sure what you mean by your birds keel bone sticks out at the sides.
You will need to gently examine your bird with your hands.
This link should explain how to check..
