He's adorable and loving to me. Loves full hand skritches on head and neck. Even learned to do a kiss (by touching his beak to the bottom of my chin). To my husband, NOT!

MC literally will charge hubby, even when I'm not home and he lets him out of his cage. If I am home and I'm watching, MC does the toddler routine of I'm tee totally innocent.
I shouldn't laugh, but.... :lol: Poor hubby. :(

Even hubby laughs. As MC races to get him on the stand, he tells him "slow down, you're going to fall and I'm going to laugh"

They are comical.

Hubby puts a toy in his bowl and MC races to throw it out. I wonder if parrots can get whiplash?

At his last weigh in Bug was 508gr which is about right for him. Fern has some very roomy hips and is 586gr, the vet thinks she could lose about 10 grams. Both are yellow naped's.

She's an older bird and tends to have a wide perching stance. I love her waddle! I cribbed it from Silence of the Lambs. Hannibal asks Clarice "Was she a large girl? Big through the hips? Roomy?"

Hi Bogdan! You are so good to weigh your Amazon so regularly! How old is he? He's gorgeous!

Blue-fronted Amazons seem to vary a lot in size. I've seen huge ones and tiny ones.
Hi Petee 's hatch in 2014 and I think is big size compared with her' s sister's

The size/weight differences in the Yellow-napes and Blue-fronted are huge in some cases! I also like seeing the differing amounts of blue on the Blue-fronts' faces.

Morgan is gorgeous, Matthew!! Another big bird there. She's a Double Yellow-headed Amazon, isn't she? What is the difference between Yellow-headed and Double Yellow-headed?

Ollie was fascinated by the scale and after a few weeks, got up on it himself. He is an Orange-winged Amazon and weighs 372gms. Not very different from when I first got him. I think he's on the small side, but perfectly formed! :D



Next was Bobbie. She is a Red-lored Amazon and I knew she was overweight, but was a little shocked to find out she is 448gms. :wideyed:



Chico is a Panama Amazon, disabled and over 50 years old. He is 430gms.



I was wondering how much everyone else's Amazons weigh. :)

Hmmm, haven't weighed popper in a while, she's big for her breed I'm told, but healthy as an ox... IMG_20180128_165757.jpg

Buddy's a Mexican Red Headed

Weight @ vets in Aug (I believe) was 288 grams. His weights recently are

11/13/18 309g
11/23/18 307g
1/1/19 309g
2/27/19 310.43g
3/11/19 310.59g

I didn't worry about the gain in weight because the vet said now that he's flying the weight for him would go up.i

The new addition is 407 grams and underweight, but we're not sure by how much. She's starting to associate me with food so I'm hoping she'll be less stressed at time goes on because right now screams blue blood murder if I get anywhere near her food or water.

Wow....I weighed my Blue front, poppie, she's at 613...but my vet said she is fine. Just big boned. and healthy with no issues. Another Blue front at vets was about a 1/3 smaller than poppie, yet only a year apart, but that blue front was considered pettite. Just never really knew they varies height wise, My senny is pettite for a senegal. My grey is average size. Interesting. I have seen sennys twice the size as my senny, and they named him kong!!! Was huge for a senegal, but not fat at all just huge!! Makes me wonder about appropriate weight ranges for given sizes of same spieces.
