Hi, my budgie was 70grams the last time my vet weighed him. He said that he's overweight, how much should a budgie weigh ideally? Mine is not an English variety. I've been trying to get him to do more exercise but he actually doesn't fly anymore for some reason and gets nervous in any situation where he has to fly, I would say he does not like exercise and his weight is noticeable. He loves to eat and I've tried to give him less but he always finishes it and I don't want him to go hungry for the rest of the day. I don't think he's lost any weight since he was last weighed. Any suggestions?
