What kind of scale do you own?

[DonaldLL]

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

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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.

It was a spendy booger wasn't it, Dan!!!!! But well worth it!!!!

Mine is a lot like Dan's. Definitely worth the extra $$ Strong and Sturdy.

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?

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:
