Pictures Where to find a Linnie near NYC?

[TurangaLeela]

Hi everyone!

I'm new to the forum, but not to birds. I had a pacific parrotlet for four years, until she died recently. I miss her every day, and I know I'll always love her. But I also always want to have a bird in my life - my p'let was such a great friend.

This time around, I'm hoping to find a lineolated parakeet. I've been doing a lot of research, and I think they might be the perfect bird for me. I live in an apartment with my husband - it's just us, no kids or other pets - and I'm a student, so I'll have time for my feathered friend. Our p'let was great, but she was also a real nipper, and she liked to yell at us a lot. I'm hoping for someone with a softer voice this time.

The thing is, where can I get a linnie? I've been calling pet stores, and I can't find one anywhere. So maybe you guys can help me out: where can I get a linnie in/near New York City? I don't have a car, so driving someplace far away isn't an option, but I'll go anywhere I can reach by train. Does anyone in/near NYC have linnies? Where did you find yours?

Thanks a lot!
Claudia

Welcome! I would try searching Bird Breeder Search - BirdBreeders.com - Avian Directory of Available Birds and Bird Breeders . You can select any state, and then the species that you are looking for. It will show the breeders in that state that have said that they breed that species. Also, you could try seeing if any local animal shelter has one.
