zooman Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zooman Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 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.

Sallas Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 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).

Sallas Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave007 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 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.

TinyTimneh Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 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.
