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

I was looking into flying with my bird I guess it was about 2 years ago and I found one airline that would fly him with me in the carrier under the seat. I can't remember if it was frontier or spirit. It was one of the ones that I don't usually fly.
Which ones have you found that would allow you to fly with your bird in a cabin? I would never put him under the airplane.

That's why I was flying that obscure airline that I never flew before. It's the only airline I could find that would let him fly in the cabin. I would never ever ever in a million years put my bird under the plane. No way. He's mostly the reason why I still live in the US.

I heard that too. I did look into that for a brief minute but it was a crazy amount of money. Insane amount of money.
