Do any of you weigh your IRN...if so, how much do they weigh?
Does anyone know a normal weight for an adult IRN?

I dont but I should. The vet said Baby was 'thin' but he is very active and looks like he always has.

I sometimes wonder if vets know ringnecks have that natural, sleek, stealth-like appearance?

Arent Quakers. :roll:

Depending on your baby's age, it should be at around 110 g (1 yr old to adult) and 120g, some of our birds are150 to 170 grams! (2 yrs old)

Thats a safe range, depending on age. :wink:

I know we are 'suppose' to weigh but I say down with scales.

Fiona will be 20 mnths on the 24th and she weighs 128g. I just wondered what was normal, so I had something to go by. Baby LOOKS healthy from the pic. I weigh and measure all my reptile and amphibians every month because sometimes that's the only way you know there is anything wrong with them...so I might as well weigh her too (I have 27 reptile/amphibians).

To down to scales?

Both! lol

He does look handsome, thats why I dont worry with it. I have seen misfeed, mishandled ringneck and if I were doing something wrong, it would show.

It always shows and it doesnt take long.

Vet said Jibby is of a healthy weight for his age. I trust this vet knows what hes saying. But he does look a lil fat sometimes, usually just before a moult, then slims down after the moult. I think its just all fluffies. (as I call his feathers).
