Re: Jazz's Weight Possibly 263g is a little on the low side for a tag, but they do come in different shapes. Also since I am not familiar with tag I may be wrong. Being under or over weight is sometimes more about the birds body condition especially around the keel bone than the actual grams on the scale. Also keep in mind that to get an accurate weight, the bird needs to be weighed on the same scale at the same time of day. Birds are always heavy and full late in the afternoon just before bed time. The variance in one day can be 10%.
The best time to weigh a bird is after the morning poop before breakfast and this way you know you are only weighing bird and not anything else. Did the technician think Jazz was under weight as the technician should be a bit experienced with feeling a birdie condition? |
