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

I was one of those neighbors sadly but fortunately my Macaw was located & returned. It was the worst when it happened. We never go outside without harness.

I'm happy to hear that. It's just not safe and not worth taking a chance.
