Budgie weight

1167 Views 5 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  chirper
Can anyone direct me to some normal ranges for English vs wild type budgie weights please. We have 4 budgies who, I think represent those at either extreme end of what is probably normal. The reason for asking is that Dizzy is 51g - he seems very healthy, but certainly is not so hectic as the other, who are more wild type in size. I am aware from what I have found so far that that is pretty heavy for a budgie. He is probably half show budgie, perhaps more. I'm inclined not to worry, and certainly not sure how I could restrict his diet easily as they are all loving free range most of the day.

Depending on breeding/genetics those numbers can fluctuate. I have an
English hen who runs around 58 grams and is not fat....:)
