how much does your Timneh weigh?

[zooman]

Okay this is for all the Timneh owners. I was on a breeders website and they claim they have a timneh male that weighs 445grams and a female at 350grams.

 

I find it hard to believe since my timneh weighs in at 315 grams avg. They said in their descriptions these are the parents and breeding couple. Im just curious and i know congos are larger and heavier on avg and they specifically say its a Timnehs. How much do yours weigh in at?

I've wondered this too. Gryphon weighs 250 grams. Thanks for the link!

Talon is a TAG and weighs 300.

Maxi's a TAG and 260 g.

[zooman]

thanks for the link i was more interested in TAGs avg weight more than CAG's, it just seemed far fetched to be soo heavy and not obese.From what i read that claim is far fetched.

I just had Bond at the Vet Friday and she was 285g and the Vet told me that was PERFECT....

Lyric weighs right around 300g.

My TAG weighs 322 gms

 

This is a weight chart for greys which can vary a few gms either way.

445 seems prtty far fetched to me for a TAG. I have a male and a female TAG, my fiancee usually weighs them while I am at work, but I will get their weights tonight. Last time i weighed them the female was 322 and the male was 343 and he is a pretty big TAG from what everyone has said that has seen him (vets and breeder).

"""445 seems prtty far fetched to me for a TAG""

 

I said that applied to a CAG, not a TAG

[Sallas]

No, I know you did, but the posters original comment was that a breeder told him they had a 445 gram TAG, that was what I was reffering too.

[Dave007]

If he really did have a TAG that size, the bird was either sick or extreme overweight plus female breeders tend to lose weight during breeding season because most of their food intake goes to the chicks. The female breeders don't suffer though because they're also extremely inactive. The male does all the work including giving her food which is transfered to the chicks. The female only takes a bit for herself. After breeding season is over, the female's strength and weight needs to be replenished which takes about 3 to 5 mts. 445 for a TAG? I doubt it.

Like the others said, 445 for a tag is doubtful. Jacko stays at 350, but had a point where it looked like he was up near 365 (my gram scale could've been faulty), and he's pretty big for a TAG.
