111 grams? Help!

Post by ArrowFire »

I weighed my IRN yesterday and it showed that he weighed 111 grams, The day before yesterday he was 112.
His normal weight is 113-114g. He actually have two watery poop yesterday, but after that, it's normal.
Is 111g normal? Is he sick? I'm worried about him :(

Hi,

did you weigh him at the same time each day? Whether they have just eaten will affect the weight.

What they have just eaten can affect their droppings too. Things with a high water content like fruit and some vegetables. Mine also have very wet droppings after they have a shower.
I can't tell if your bird is unwell from here. If his droppings continue to be abnormal or he is definitely losing weight or if he shows any other signs of illness like lethargy, sitting fluffed up etc it would be a good idea to consult your avian vet.

I hope that helps.

Regards,
Claire
