Meyer’s parrot


What is the acceptable weight for an adult Meyer Parrot?


Answer:

Hi Grace,

Dr. Tully covered this to some extent by recommending that you do a daily weight at the same time for a week or two, and then getting an average to know what is normal for your bird.

Body condition is much more important than actual weight. Dr. Lamb discusses how to assess body condition in one of her webinars. I believe it is this one below.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
