So I just want a little reassurance before I needlessly go to the vet for nothing.
My little guy is 31 days old now.

he had grown to 105 g and is now 89 each morning and 93ish when fed.

he’s been showing a lot of interest in hanging with the adult tiels and eating millet and avicakes with them. He sips a little water got not much.
I wasn’t expecting the weight loss during fledgling to be so much. I also don’t really see a visible roundness to the crop before he decides he is finished eating. He refuses food from his mother sometimes too.
Poops are normal consistency but much smaller than before. About half mass.
Dad on the left is 90 g and mom on the right is 85

is this just normal? C8360A1F-95FF-4909-862A-482D6BB68A96.jpeg

Since he won’t let mom feed him, I added a 3pm spoon feeding to the schedule for three a day because his foraging activities aren’t lifting much in his stomach. 8a 3p 9 p

im starting to think this is him lightening for flight. He took off twice yesterday.
