| - | The weight of a bird is not necessarily the best or sole indicator to be used, when it comes to a proper health assessment. If you have got only a few resident or tame birds, or birds who are used to be handled, then you can certainly weigh them, or train them to weigh themselves. If you have got more birds to care for, or wild birds to be released at some point, then it is not practical and also not advisable to weigh them to often. | + | The weight of a bird is not necessarily the best or sole indicator to be used, when it comes to a proper health assessment.

| Trying to catch birds in an aviary environment can cause more damage than good, unless there is concern that something is wrong. Even if we do catch a bird, we do not always weigh her or him. However, we always check the keel bone and breast muscles, which is the better indicator for nutritional condition and sufficient physical exercise, and is not dependent on how small or big a bird is, as there is quite often a considerable interspecies variation in size. However, hospitalised or nestling birds will be weight regularly to monitor sufficient weight gain, development and treatment response. | Trying to catch birds in an aviary environment can cause more damage than good, unless there is concern that something is wrong.
