- Yuki - Snow white budgie; Luna - Blue budgie; Pocket - Hahn's Macaw
For comparison's sake.
Pocket weighs anywhere between 138g (after first poop in the morning) and up to 144g in the evenings after dinner. (I think he's nearing 5 months now - so he still has a bit of growing to do anyway)
I've read that they recommend around 160-165g for Hahns macaws - BUT I've also read that the average weight can sometimes be skewed due to some breeders accidentally crossing the Noble (bigger) with the Hahns, so some pet Hahn's are a little on the bigger side.
Also let me know if your Hahns is free flighted or not. I'm working on building his muscle tone with flights each night and he is getting better. I'm so proud of him. He is able to nail his landings correctly about 80% of the time now. (Before he used to undershoot/overshoot or have to loop back around to try again)
Thanks
