It's hard to tell with Avics but a general precursor is lack of appetite.

also, with new world T's, if they have flicked hair off their abdomen the pink 'skin' you see will turn black a week or so before.

You cannot take this as something that happens all of the time, especially with a tarantula such as a.avicularia where it's abdomen is naturally black.
