Where do I keep weight and test results?
FreeParrot care app: daily weight, lab tests and routine for every bird
A parrot, a budgie or a canary can change weight fast, and every gram counts. PawsPet is the app for parrots and other pet birds: you log the weight every day and see it on the chart, keep lab tests and certificates in order and, if you set it, get an alert when a check is due again. It does not replace the avian vet: it helps you get there with the right data.
- The app is free, with no subscription.
- You invite whoever you want, area by area.
- The AI prepares, you confirm.
The bird's profile: what changes in the app
For parrots and other birds the app has tests of their own. Here they are, with the labels you find in the app.
Chlamydia psittaci swabAvian faecal examination
The two tests the catalogue recommends for birds, with the suggested interval.
PBFD PCR (circovirus)Avian polyomavirus PCR
The catalogue also has the two PCR tests, advised when a new bird arrives.
Weight
The weight, in grams under a kilo, one measurement a day, with the chart from the second weighing.
Birds (generic)Bird
The two entries of the species grid, for parrots, budgies and canaries, with the breed if you want.
In its profile, every day
Daily weight with a chart
In the «Measurements» tab you log the day's weight, in grams when the bird is under one kilo, with a photo and a note if you like. You see the latest value, the change from the previous reading and the trend on a chart. One entry per day, always editable.
Lab tests with a repeat schedule and alerts
Pick the test from the catalogue, with the ones recommended for species and age at the top, or type your own with «Other (custom)»: swab, PCR or faecal test, with results and values. If the catalogue has a schedule the app proposes it; you choose the alert.
Certificates and documents always with you
CITES certificate, passport, pedigree or microchip registration: upload scans, photos or PDFs with number, issuing body and dates. With an expiry date you choose how many days ahead you get the reminder; a coloured label flags what has expired or is about to.
Works without a connection too
Add the bird and log a measurement even when you are offline: the app saves on the phone and syncs as soon as the network is back, without holding you up. Handy in the aviary, in the vet's waiting room or on the road.
Bird adoptions
Adoption listings are free and are published and browsed on pawspet.it.

In the «Species» step pick «Birds» (or «Bird» under «Show all species») and, if you like, type the breed or variety in the field with suggestions; for a species you cannot find there is «Other», with the type written by you.
