Hey guys, I wonder, what's the usual size for a regular pet budgie? I remember that this last weekend I had brought Bud and Pat over to the petstore for a little nail clip (Yep, now I have some special perch to do it more naturally but whoops, I had forgotten to buy one before...) and I noticed that Bud was much bigger than Pat is. She's noticeably taller, though not as big as a show budgie, and she weights more... Tonight I had both in my hands I could just weight the difference just like that. I don't think she's overweight or anything, just... naturally biggg girl.

Can't give you my actual weights but my budgies range in size from the petite Buddy to heavy Happy (who has lived many years with her lipomas under treatment). :hap:

pet budgies are usually around average of 35-40grams

show budgies (exhibition or english) are around 45g- 55g

 

give or take I am sure

(Laughing out loud), okay! thanks. I guess she's just a big girl.

 

Someone told me that females are usually bigger?

My indoor boys weigh from 32g (pipsqueak Fizzy, don't worry he's always been that small) to 41g (Macho-Man Ozzie). Blinkie sits anywhere between 38g and 40g depending on how much of a pig he's been that day. Some of my outdoor budgies would weigh a decent amount.....fatties. :(Laughing out loud):
