It’s the beginning of February! The first of the month is weigh in day for our birds. Little Lionel is doing good on his New Years Resolution, but we wanted to showcase our Great Horned Owl Henry demonstrating how well he stands on the scale

Well? How much does he weigh? How much is he supposed to weigh? I’m guessing less than a pound for that cute little fluff ball.
Henry looks to be a big boy! Scale looks to say 132x, assuming grams. Average for a Great Horned male is 1200g / 2.6 pounds and the high end is 1360 g / 3.0 pounds. If he’s 1320-something, that’s about 2.92 pounds, so he’s either a big fella or just a little chunky.
A petite female starts at Henry’s current size. 1600g /3.5 pounds is average for a female, going up to 2500 g / 5.0 pounds or slightly more for a big momma.
