Steevo Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Hi all, just wondering what the ideal weight is for a 12 month old African Grey. My girl Matilda has gone from 444 grams to 334 grams in the past week. She’s been eating but not as much. Still a very happy bird. Not sure if it’s due to the fact it’s now summer. We usually have the inside temp running at 22 C. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers, Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greytness Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 That's a huge drop in weight in such a short period of time. I'd have her vetted to make certain she doesn't have an infection brewing or something else going on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Yes, I'd get her to the vet ASAP. That's a lot of weight loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steevo Posted December 28, 2020 Author Share Posted December 28, 2020 Sorry guys, I just checked her weight dates and it’s actually been 26 days for Matilda to lose 10 grams. Weighed her on 1 st Dec then 27 th Dec. She’s eating well and very happy but will definitely get her to the Vets this week. Thanx for your help, will let you know what the Vet says. cheers, Steve🦜👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Big difference in 10 grams and 110 grams. Thank heavens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steevo Posted December 28, 2020 Author Share Posted December 28, 2020 My mistake, I meant 10 grams. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoow Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I don't have much advice but just wanted to say hope all goes ok with the vet. If she's not eating as much as normal then the weight loss makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steevo Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 Thanx for your response. I’ve just had 2 weeks off work with my Girl and she’s been really excited spending a lot of time with me. I noticed if I’m home more she will eat smaller amounts of her food to spend more time with me. She thinks I’m her boyfriend. 😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
