How to weigh your parrot

I'm sure there are many ways to weigh parrots. Here is just a cheap tip. I use a gram food scale from Walmart that didn't cost much. With a little treat bribery the birdies don't take too long to weigh. Also, healthy Sun Conures should weigh between 100 -120 grams. Weighing your parrots often can ensure that their health is prime. If you notice a significant drop in weight it could be a sign of illness. Though, don't worry if your birds weight fluctuates a gram or two. Sunkiss sometimes will weigh 10 grams heavier when she is close to laying eggs.
Remember every species have their own healthy weight range so make sure you know what your parrot should weigh.
