BaxtersMom Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 OMG! Carol, you have a "big ole boy"! I just weighed Baxter who is about 13 years old and he weighed 490 grams. That's actually pretty good for him because when we brought him home he weighed 460 grams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eckobird Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Great thread! This is the first time I saw it and it makes me feel a lot better about Ecko's(CAG) weight. When we got him he was 467 grams at 8 weeks old. Once he started flying he dropped all the way down to 410 grams(not all at one but within weeks), I freaked out! I didn't think that was normal until the vet told me it was. He is now weaned and 16 weeks old and weighs around 430 grams. So its good to see all these greys ranging in different ages and different weights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Whisper is a CAG. 18 months old. She is petite and weighs 385. The vet felt of of her breastbone and said it feels perfect. I found there can be a large difference between scales also. The one at the pet store weighed a lot heavier than the vets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cflanny Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 ZZero is a massive 430!! lol hes just a little guy you are right about the scales even mine I wieghed 3 times in a row and once was 100g difference still not sure why. I about freaked out when it said 545g I knew it was definatly wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Partner316 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 When I took Partner to the vet he weighed in at 303g at around 4 years old. And the vet told me that was pretty hefty lol. So I'm going to ignore her comment on that because I see a lot of your TAGs weigh way more than mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzie Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 "Borrowed" some digital scales from my folks(hoping they'll forget they lent them to me heehee). Cleo at 5 months minus one day weighs 510 grams. I always thought she was quite a hefty bird and thought she'd weigh more. It was good reading over the previous posts to get an idea of what others weigh, and how to check for obesity. I can feel her keel bone, but its not visible. It feels like she's got a good amount of muscle on her chest too. She's on a pellet diet with lots of fruit and vegetables, as well as whatever she can steal off my plate, and a treat of seeds once a week. She's got a big appetite, right from the day I got her. Cleo also has really big feet, but I don't know if that's an indication of future size? At what age do CAG's stop growing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udannefitz Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 How old is Ceaser? Just to compare age/weight. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyo1106 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 YoYo weights somewhere between 470 to 530; different readings based on the last 3 times we visited the vet. He's a pretty big boy and the vets are always commenting on his big feet! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinniKoko1 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 She goes between 420 grams to 440 - I cannot figure how there is such a fluctuation. Koko is a CAG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherStrella Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 AnnaBella has gained a few grams. She weighs 473...the vet kept calling her a "he" because she thought she was big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchroedersJen Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Schroeder is 2 1/2 and weighs 345g after his am poo.... He is pretty buff (he is full flight and gets a lot of exercise) I bet he could bench, like 100g if he wanted. He also looks great in his spandex superhero outfit and cape.

RockysMum Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I was just looking for some information on Grey weights and found this great thread;) I recieved an information pack this morning from Harrison's and it says that a grey should weigh about 554gms. So i weighed Rocky and he is 449gms, as you can imagine panic overcame me lol. But after reading this thread i feel he is a good weight. Thanks GuysB) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terra1981 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 My CAG is 7 months old. His name is Da Vinci. He is about 16 - 17 inches and 540 grams. Give or take... The breeder we bought him from says he cant believe how big he has gotten. Not the greatest pic but hes in his dont stop moving time of day, lol.

JeffNOK Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I just took my female CAG for her one year wellness check. She was just under 400 grams. She is small, but the vet said she is in great health. She has gained 50 grams since I brought her home from the breeders. Harrisons sends out info saying that CAGs should weigh 554 grams??? That's a bit on the precise specific side. Wonder where they got that number. That is more than most of the CAGs here. Seems odd for a reputable company to put out such misleading info. Most websites give an average range of of 400-600 grams, but a CAG in the upper 300s (375+) is still normal. As others have said, there is a big range and it's not necessarily the weight that is an issue, but weight loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, was this photo taken just before feeding or a while after feeding? The reason I ask is because his crop is empty...Is it always like that?
