Hi,
2 days ago i got a Blue & Gold Macaw from a breeder.
It's mother had died a few days after laying the eggs (probably a fight).
So this little guy has been had fed since day 1.
Right now he's a little older then 6 weeks.
He's eating his formula very good, (not unlike my eclectus did), he is easy to feed. i'm feeding him Zupreem Macaw formula.
Currently i'm feeding him 50ml 3 times a day.
Now whats concerning me is his weight, he weighs 468 grams, shouldn't a chick of this age weigh more like 600 grams?
Also when i'm comparing pictures of other macaws his age they seem to have more feathers already then mine has. His feathers are just starting to come a little bit.
So is his weight good? i could not find a clear answer when using google.
