Any species. I’m just curious.

Isadora is at 634g, as of this morning.

Wow. I didn't realize Isadora was that much bigger than Elvis. He is around 325 grams which I think is on the bigger side for a goffin. Milton, the umbrella, is 535. So, she's bigger than him too.

Is Isadora a mother to be? :rofl:

She’s been this weigh for almost a year now. The vet said she looks great and her weight is perfect :shrug: I guess she’s just big?

She’s a triton
Oh wow! She is basically perfectly in between the weights of Lesser Sulfur and Greater Sulfur haha! According to google, Umbrellas range from 400g to 800g

Dolly was 464 her last vet visit but she has gained weight since then.
I bought scales ages ago and haven't used them yet. I will check her weight tomorrow and let you know...

She’s a pretty great example of the species, according to the vet :D I’m super pleased with the progress she’s made

Good luck! The first few dozen times, literally, that i tried using one, Michael thought that the T-stand perch was there as a throwing handle. So, the scale went flying! I eventually relented and removed the perch portion, but still, when he is in a mood, the scale has some mid-air time.

Cassie the Goffin's is around 300g and DNA sexed male despite the name. Ariel is surgically sexed female questionable greater sulfur crest and weighs between 790 and 820+. I've noticed in recent years that her weight goes up a decent amount in the spring and summer. Hormones and getting ready for egg laying I suppose, even though she's never laid an egg.
