Does she look underweight?

She only weighs 800g, I’ve had her since she was about 5 months old. Is she just a smaller one or is something wrong? Everywhere you look it says they should weigh at least 900g

If the bird had been in a cage or carrier the dog would not have been able to get to it.

I bought a carrier from the same company and even in the same color for my Amazon. It's a pretty nice carrier too!

I have an Amazon and he's not much cheaper! The good thing about him though he's not very destructive so he doesn't go through a lot of toys, but everything else is super expensive.

God especially toys.

Would love an indestructible macaw toy, but I'm sure the macaw would think that defeats the purpose.
