Hello all, I've been lurking around the forums for a little while now and finally decided to join!

I'm a 24 year old living in Japan at the moment and 4 days ago, picked up a 3-month-old dark green Linnie, so I'll probably be asking for help about him a lot, since he is my first parrot.
(Here's the only "good" picture that I have for him atm, in his carry case...and feat. poop :roflmao:)

I've been brainstorming ideas for a while but unfortunately I haven't been able to find a name that clicks just yet :V
...please let us know when he receives his name...after all, he must be welcomed to the Avenue in a proper way...;) :)

Hello! I answered you over on the Linnie forum!

BTW, are you an American that lives in Japan? My son (28) has been there many times and recently ended his 2 year visa in Japan. He lived in Osaka and hopes to return soon. I have heard that Linnies are popular in Japan. My son's girlfriend was here for the summer and said she knows several people with Linnies in Osaka.

And thank you for answering!
What a coincidence! Hopefully he'll be able to come back soon, probably at least after the heat wave has passed, it's still very hot and humid here. Java Finch loves it, my linnie, not so much :V
I'm a Japanese American in Japan (so I have a citizenship, no visas required!) and I live in Tokyo (hence the "urban" in my name ;)) and yes, it does seem like a lot of people here know that linnies exist! Budgies and tiels are by far the more popular species but I know that there's enough of a demand for them that there's 2 linnie breeders in the Tokyo area!
