Nychsa Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 I really should weigh Bella right now - she just ate a whole Matzo ball!!! ok, Granted it was one of those little ones..., but still, it was the size of a lime! I'm looking at her wondering where on earth she put it :ohmy: Add to that, she ate a bunch of noodles too! Bella weighs 553 grams first thing in the morning. She's 14.5 inches long. But, Dave tells me his little one weighs more than Bella, so I'm not going to worry about it - I can feel her keel bone and she's as happy as can be - so, she seems to be digesting her matzo balls!
danmcq Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Nychsa - Thats not her keel bone, it's the matzo ball. She has one big appetite!!!

You'd think after that much food she'd be down for the count digesting, but no sir! She was running around like a maniac, doing her dances, running back and forth on the couch, chasing Jiggy and chattering her little beak off :silly: I couldn't believe her! My partner is Jewish, so he turned me on to the chicken with noodles and matzo ball soups. I had it last night for dinner and since Bella shares my dinner, she went to town on that matzo ball! I thought her favorite food was chicken wings, but in the mean time, I think the chicken wings have been surpassed by matzo balls :laugh:
nims Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 Hi, My CAG indy is 414gram slightly underweight according to my avian vet. she was on a pellet based diet with fresh fruit an veg for dinner now I've put her on a seed and pellet diet temporarily with fresh fruit and veg. Once she has successfully put on a few extra grams I will take her back to her original pellet based diet,<br><br>Post edited by: nims, at: 2008/07/19 18:14 Neemita_Mepani_SOCA_SG5_AF.doc
lovemyGreys Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 TAG's can vary in weight from 275-400 grams & CAG's between 400-650 ,your grey may just have a smaller frame, i wouldnt be overly worried Females tend to weigh less than the males.
megoni123 Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 My congo grey is a pretty big boy when i got him (around 14weeks) and took him to the vet the next week he was 478 grams. He is at least 15" long. Now he ways 5oo grams give or take.
megoni123 Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 arent congos supposed to weigh between 450 and 600 grams?
dblhelix Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 CAG weight can vary pretty significantly based on the birds body/bone structure and geographic part of Africa their ancstors came from just like humans and other animals of the same species cover a pretty wide range of "normal" weights. Healthy mature CAGs generally range from 350g or below on the smaller size on up to 650g+ depending. This below link I have posted several times before and I still think its very informative: http://www.africanature.com/Project%20Africa/wildgreys.htm<br><br>Post edited by: dblhelix, at: 2008/08/14 05:20
Jesse Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 My 3 month old female african grey is weighing at 350 gms. It is good to keep them active because they can get too heavy, I don't know about obesity.
Suzzique Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 Alex is about 418g. The vet was happy with his weight.
LindaMary Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 At almost 19 months, Max the Timneh weighed 258 grams yesterday. Petite even for a female TAG, but nonetheless healthy and energetic. My mom always taught me that dynamite comes in small packages...
SchroedersJen Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Schroeder weighs about 355g after his morning poop. He is a hefty TAG and very muscular, as he gets fre run of the house during the day and tons of exercise. Most TAGs do not get this big.
BaxtersMom Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Baxter was 12 years old when I got him in July, He weighed 465g the first time I wieghed him. He has steadily gained wieght in the 4 months I've had him and now is at 485g but he is not fat at all, more on the slender side. (He's a Cag.)
Talon Posted November 14, 2008 Author Posted November 14, 2008 An update: Talon a tag weighs 300 grams and Rikki a cag weighs 400. Easy to remember! They are both 3 years old.

Goralka08 Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 McKenzie's scale arrived yesterday so her first weigh in was this morning! The parrot rescue organization said to weigh her before she eats and drinks in the morning. She is a TAG, aged 10-15 years, and weighed in at 311 grams.
karla3000 Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 I also have a TAG. We were told by his previous ownder that he is 4 years old. Miya has weighed between 261 and 275 in the last two months (since we brought him home).<br><br>Post edited by: karla3000, at: 2009/01/20 09:03

CarolandFamily Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 I know that this is a little bit older BUT an awesome thread! I asked Tina yesterday how much Ahjari weighs so far? He's almost 8 weeks old you ready?.....483 grams!:ohmy: lol he's the biggest of the Greys lol. It felt good to know that Dan had a big baby boy when he brought him home. I was like this can't be true lol BUT after reading this it can be so I am relieved. Thanks for this thread...<br><br>Post edited by: CarolandFamily, at: 2009/04/12 14:18
