Is anyone else seeing this kind of weight fluctuations? Chico gets weighed in the AM, always dry and not after a shower. This is done after his morning poop and before being fed or watered. He is not provided with food or water in his sleep cage. So I think I should be getting good data. These numbers are indicative of the measurements I have been getting for the past two years.

To put it into perspective I did a side by side conversion. If this was a 200 lb man and not a 481 g bird, see above. I don't think a humans weight would swing so much on a maintenance diet. But this is a bird and not a human so just wanted to ask if anyone else is seeing this kind of fluctuations.

Do you weigh him daily?. The weights aren't too far apart to be concerning to me, as long as the weight does any steadily decline.

In the morning Rosie usually weighs around 285-290, her weight can fluctuate between 280-305 depending on how much food she has eaten.

Not daily, the dates are indicated. This was over a period of a month.

I was asking to see if you were posted them farther part so you didn't have to type all the days out.

Try weighing him 2-3 times a day for a week, then go over the results. That will give you a good idea of his weight fluctuations
