some birds are just bigger than others. look at all 4 of my birds. dally and tsuka are fairly large for tiels, both over 100 grams in weight. but also much bigger than others ive seen in length. my friend has a female cinnamon pied and she is much longer than both my birds. but her male is a bit smaller than dally. it's just how they are. then there is mango and munch. munch is huge for a lovebird, at 65 grams. lovebirds normally are 45-50 grams, so she is quite large. mango is only 50 grams at most and he is dainty. yet he and munch are siblings from the same clutch--in fact, mango is the older sibling! so size often is an individual trait more than anything genetics have a good part to play as certain mutations can be smaller than others in some birds, and breeding poorly can cause smaller birds. |

wow... luckily lenny never did that with butch. he just likes to sit where he is sitting  yesterday, after a long few days with out training, i took lenny out to see butch and i used a whole millet spray to temp him and he cam on my shoulder 3 times! the first 2 times i came off by my finger but the last time he flew off because butch was yelling he still loves waving to me |
