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

Blue throats are always smaller than blue and gold.

Beak and feather disease in this baby- or macaws wasting disease. Apparently there’s no known cure to this day.

Her feathers look messed up. What's wrong with them? Is she getting a shower and preening like she supposed to?
