Monthly weigh in - July, August & September 2015

So much for wanting to do these posts on a monthly basis. It appears my break from posting much online kept going throughout the Summer, but it did me some good. Now that it is getting colder out, and the fact that I took a break from all of this, I think I'm ready to start posting regularly again - maybe not daily, but possibly on a weekly basis.

In any case, the birds did get weighed even if I didn't post about it for three months. Maybe not as regularly as they should, but nothing in their behaviour really pointed to there being something problematic and they felt the same when picked up.

Looking at what their weights have been for July, August and September, that feeling was right; they have, for the most part, been very consistent. Zuri dipped a little in August, but maintained this weight in September and the dip wasn't very significant for a bird his size to begin with. Léa also appears to have put on a few grams in September, but given that they were truly only weighed once that month, it may be a one off, not that I'm opposed to her putting on a little weight. And again, the difference for a bird her size is nothing to be worried about.
