BirdWeightTracker helps bird owners monitor their pet's health through the most reliable early indicator — body weight. Log effortlessly Add weigh-ins manually or just snap a photo of your scale. The app reads the number automatically so you can log in seconds without typing anything. See the full picture View weight history as a chart or log, with stats like 7-day and 30-day averages, highest weight, and standard deviation. Know at a glance whether your bird is stable, trending up, or dropping. Get alerted early Birds instinctively hide illness. BirdWeightTracker watches for drops greater than 10% below your bird's average and sends a notification so you can act before things get serious. Manage multiple birds Track all your birds in one place. Each bird has their own weight history, health range, and medication log. Stay organised Log medications, set weigh-in reminders, and export your data as CSV or JSON whenever you need it. BirdWeightTracker is for anyone who takes their bird's health seriously — from first-time budgie owners to experienced parrot parents.
