So im buying a bird weight scale to make sure that my guys are where they should be. The only issue is that I don't know what weight my bird should be at its current age or species. Is there a list that covers a majority of parrots and their healthy weight? O

Usually if you look up each species you will find a range. Checking the bird's condition around its keel bone is a better indicator though of whether the bird is fat, thin or just right.

However, you need to know where they each are now and then you can monitor weight changes.
