Birds hide illness — daily weight is the early-warning signal
Wild bird instinct is to *hide weakness* — by the time a parrot looks sick, it has often been ill for days. Daily weight in grams (on an empty crop, same time of day) is the single most-recommended husbandry data point from avian vets: a 10% drop is an emergency, a 5% drop is a same-week vet call.
Food eaten (g/cup) matters because birds famously *flip and dump* — a half-empty bowl might mean the seed went on the floor, not into the crop. Tracking by weight beats tracking by visual fill.
Droppings normal? is the second-most-mentioned avian vet question. Note color, consistency, and ratio of urine / urates / feces in the comment column. Pair with the Pet Medication Schedule if you're treating an active condition.
*Husbandry log only — for any concerning trend, consult a certified avian vet. Birds decompensate quickly.*
