Default A Scarlets Weight

I was just curious if what those with Scarlets have thiers weighed at. I recently did so with Tarot, my scarlet. She was 1.71 pounds or 775 grams. Looking online they are usually between 2 and 2.5 pounds, but visually Tarot is the same size or bigger then others I have met. Now she is fully flighted and very slender, but not really under weight (feeling her keel bone and the muscle around it). She is a very strong flyer and active bird so I don't think she is unhealthy but I wanted to get a good idea of what others weigh in at.

I've always thought Mystic seemed small at 930g... she was 867 when We first got Her... from the bail bondsman Who had taken Her as payment on a returned bond... Who was afraid of Her and let Her have run of the house at all times of the day and night, and They had a 35-ft Christmas Tree in the living room, that, " Didn't look all that big when We loaded it on the pickup!!! " Still laughing over that one... that explains why I often view Her as a RESCUE, tho' not in the true definition of the word.
