Before we got Ollie, we said that we would get two birds, one bonded to me and one bonded to lauren, and I was very firm about getting a Cockatiel. She was firm about getting something more stocky than a cockatiel, like a green cheek
Since getting Ollie, we tried looking at other small parrots that hopefully wouldn't cause trouble or be able to hurt ollie/vice versa significantly at a moment's notice if they don't get along. We had pretty much settled on a Green cheek, a brotogeris, a linnie, or a grass parakeet/bourke of some sort.... and sure enough today we met a Linnie that caught our heart. She's a beautiful mauve color mutation linnie.... I'm not 100% on the sex but they do DNA some of their birds, I just forgot to ask if she had been DNA'd yet....
She was so hand tame! She wanted to be held upside down in your hand and dangle from your finger and she practically fell asleep lying down in lauren's hand for half an hour at the store..... her beak pressure training was perfect and she was a graceful flier while clipped... Lauren and I talked it over and we decided we really want her. The policy of the store requires you to come back a second day before you can put down a deposit so we're going in tomorrow in the hopes that we can get her....
