Talon Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 The average weight is 275-350 grams. They are significantly smaller than a cag. A cag is more like 350-500 I believe. The others will correct me if I am wrong on the cag, I have a timneh, and she weighs 310.<br><br>Post edited by: Talon, at: 2008/04/04 00:52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I think you are about right Penny but maybe a little smaller like 300-400 for Tags and 350-500 for Cags but then that is my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronda477 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Actually according to this site, and my TAG it is- Timneh grey (about 275-350) grams Congo grey (roughly 500-600 grams) This was courtesy of http://proaviculture.com/congoortimneh.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christina Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Finnigan is 272 and very healthy. Although, keep in mind, they do differ in size. It seems Talon might be a bigun. They are just a bit bigger than a conure, stockier if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithie007 Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 Wow! ok. That sounds like a decent size. I was thinking that they were bigger than that. It'll be ok though. Their personality sounds a bit better than the congo. I like birds that act like clowns.:woohoo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovemyGreys Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Caiques are only around 9-11 inches smaller than a TAG, lovely little birds full of character, can be noisy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
