DonaldLL Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Hi, I want to buy a scale so I can keep a record of Stella's weight. Can someone give a name or post a link of what scale I should buy? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roseanna Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 How about a regular flat, digital kitchen scale? that is what we use, no need to go out and pay a lot on a "parrot scale" they will do the same job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray P Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 WalMart has a electronic kitchen scale that will go to 10 lbs and will do in grams ounces kilograms and pounds I set my t stand on it and you can reset to zero and just get your birds weight and it`s about 20 or 30 bucks Bradshaw scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimKim Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I also got a kitchen scale from Bed Bath and beyond and I used a 20% off coupon. Babalu would not sit on the flat part though so I weighed a small box then put him on the box! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I paid a little more, but decided on one made for birds. You can see the models on this web page: http://www.oldwillknottscales.com/bird-scale.aspx?engine=adwords!10654&keyword=%28bird+scale%29&match_type=&gclid=CKKV9IOGvKQCFcRS6wodoxkULw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I use the flat topped one from Bed Bath and Beyond, Just put some rough tape on the flat part so they don't slip and recalibrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danmcq Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Hey Janet, you stole my scale! I have exactly the same model/manufacturer. Dayo actually looks forward to perching on it and just kicking back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 It was a spendy booger wasn't it, Dan!!!!! But well worth it!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Mine is a lot like Dan's. Definitely worth the extra $$ Strong and Sturdy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonaldLL Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 Ask and you shall receive.... the people on this forum are the best! Thank you for the replies. So Dan (et al.) I am looking at the scales in the link you provided. Is there any reason to spend the $100+ for a 1200g capacity rather than say spending half that amount for a 2500g capacity scale? Which model do you prefer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I have one similar to the ones Janet and Dan have and it wasn't much over $50, I got mine from American Weigh Scales and they have all kinds and prices, here is a link to their site: http://www.americanweigh.com/index.php?cPath=102&sort=2a&filter_id=10&page=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
