Lil' Chodi weighs in at 462 grams per his last vet visit. He likes to go for the Fluffly look most of the time. When he stands up straight he actually looks a little skinny. Here's a few photos. And, NO, we do not normally allow him to eat french fries, however, he does recognize the golden arches and will make his way towards who ever has the fries :)

I just rehomed Echo , YNA male that weighed 800 grams when healthy and 880 when i first got him. Then i have Nitro , YNA male that weighs 800 grams also. There;s some vids on here with him. The DYHs are about 525-570, OWAs at about 380-420, The Pans are like 325 except Baby Girl ,hen Pan who weighs about 280. The male RLA weighs alittle less than the 1/2 doz YNA hens he hangs with, YNA hens 500-600 grams.

880grams?! Thats a whopper of an amazon:eek::eek::eek:

Heck, 800 grams is still....:11:

Now those are some BIG zons. Wish you had pics of those guys!

Lil' Chodi is a beautiful DYH. Lots of red on his shoulders. And I think not a one of us is free of the guilt of offering up a french fry on occasion to keep the peace:54: May I ask how he got his name?

I recently saw an older male YNA at a bird store, who was probably about like Echo. I had to do a double take! The employee said he weighed almost as much as a (probably baby) large macaw! It sure looked like it. He was so unusually large I just couldn't stop staring :52: lol.

Lil chodi was a rescue and his name was/is Adelita per the vets file, however he belts out "I love you little chodi" so now that's what we call him. Also we found out after DNA that he is a boy, therefore Adelita just did not seem fitting for him.:)

Ah. That makes sense that he was a rescue. I just had to wonder how a parrot ended up with that name. How old is he? He looks very healthy!

I still have to get a weight on Iris...but she's a pixie. I know she was underweight at her last vet visit -- I think the Ekkie she lived with was eating all the food. She's actually sort of picky, but she's starting to go for some stuff. She likes the seeds inside peppers and dried fruits...she'll never be on the big zon list though...especially now that she's flighted and scoots around the house. :) I hope in time letting her have more control will make her have more confidence. I think a lot of years of living with a bird that she was half afraid of and people who were half afraid of her, might have gotten her a bit neurotic. But she's a peanut. She is a fluffy thing though.

Aww... Iris may be a "tiny" thing, but she shows the smaller end of the BFA range:)

Some of these amazons are huge :O YN's leading the way!!! I really want to see what blue is now. She won't have the muscle definition that others have as she rarely flies..... Except when i run up and down with her, hopefully she's not over weight.

As others have mentioned too, some lovely looking birds about :D

Thanks! He's 9 years old. According to the vet his previous owner took good care of him. :D

Thanks , we haven't decided a name , we recently realized she was a female.
She seems really small but I don't think she's skinny , if she is she will gain real quick .
The other bfa named blue on the first page looks large compared to her.

Sweetheart is right . But only with me so far.
