Monthly weigh in - May 2015

I've posted a few entries on the blog about the importance of weighing your parrots frequently. Although I've been doing so in a less frequent manner than in the past (I used to do daily), I still try to get to it once a week.

I keep a spreadsheet with all the data, and have it backed up, but thought it would be good to also use the blog to keep track. Unlike my spreadsheet, I'll keep these monthly post to show what the average weight for each bird was each month.

So without much more delay -

Average weight (in grams) for May 2015:
Piper - 55g
Shade - 117g
Joey - 128g
Petey - 138g
Zuri - 128g
Pixel - 122g
Léa - 318g

I also keep a table of the average weights for each bird per year:

Year	Piper	Shade	Joey	Petey	Zuri	Pixel	Léa
2009	54	111	124	128	112	-	-
2010	56	115	126	131	124	115	-
2011	59	117	127	131	130	121	303
2012	57	116	128	132	128	120	307
2013	57	116	127	136	128	120	313
2014	57	117	128	139	130	121	316
2015*	56	117	127	139	127	122	319

*For 2015, data from January to May is included.


Piper has lost a little weight these past few weigh ins, I'll probably keep an eye on that. He is still eating nicely and seem like himself. In fact, the vet would probably be happy with the small weigh loss and I'm fine with it, as long as it doesn't dip any lower too quickly.
