Hi I'm a bit concerned on my sennie Cain's weight, I usually try to keep her at 121 grams (preferably 124 grams), I hadn't weighed her in a few day but when I did she seemed to average at 115 grams). I've met two people who've owned sennies and both said that Cain seemed a bit small for her species (some people have refered to her as a budgie before- it was unappreciated, ). Last time I went to the avian vet though (I believe she weighed in at 121 grams) he said that she was on the heavy side of healthy and discouraged me from getting her any heavier.
I was just wondering what any sennie owners out there might think is the average weight for a female/ what the weight of your sennie tends to be.
She's been weighing in at 114 to 115 grams every morning and I can't seem to get her any heavier than 118 grams by the end of the day.
Touch wood, she seems healthy enough, if not a bit more active than her usual perch-potato self- flying over to me from her cage, landing on relatives shoulders and being a nusiance. She seems to want to play, roll on to her back, stuff that she'd usually not interested in doing.
She's finally stopped trying to regurgitate for me (head pumps were given a stern stop it/ no), I wonder whether shes decided she doesn't need to eat so much since she doesn't need to feed me.
Anyways, I'd love to hear from as many sennie owners as possible, their idea on what the average weight should be for a female sennie, thanks.
