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.
