linnie

Hi everyone, I'm new to owning a Linnie and would love some advice on how to bond with my 3-4 month old Linnie and make him feel more comfortable and safe. What are some effective ways to build trust and improve my care for him? I also want to let him fly around and be out of the cage, but I'm...

Hello, We recently got a 3-month-old linnie from a local breeder and have had him for almost a month now. As he's the first bird we've ever owned, we've come across a few challenges and have some questions. Initially, when we brought him home, he was very timid but gradually warmed up to us...

Does anyone know of any breeders, sellers, or rehomes in or around NC? We recently adopted a Linnie from a heartbreaking situation where his last owner suddenly passed. He used to be housed with another Linnie, but he outlived him too. Our little dude has lost his whole family in just a few...

You can answer any questions you know the answers for What are some care and behaviour differences that linnies and budgies have compared to cockatiels? Do any budgie mutations have pink feathers? How to find adoption centres like rescues or shelters that have birds. I didn't get many results in...

Rehoming 2 Lineolated Parakeets - I have two males from the same clutch born 12/5/23 & 12/6/23. One turquoise and one green. Both have been to the vet for a wellness check and are in excellent health. They are currently on a pellet and fresh veggie diet. Comes with cage and some accessories...

Hi all, I realised this morning it's been a while since I posted about Custard. She's settled in nicely now, she's still very sweet and lovely however will happily tell you off if she doesn't want to do something. She's started going through a moult, we visited the avian vet last week for her...

Hi everyone, Some of you might recognise my user name from quite a while back. I've had a few traumatic years with my flock hence why no posts however I have been lurking and liking posts. I'm finally feeling brave enough to post about my current flock so I thought I would start by...

Hello all! I recently saw a post in my inbox from a bird forum, where someone says their two Linnie’s passed away from eating their Hoya plant, which they had found listed as safe on a few sites. they said the birds never ever showed interest in the plant, for years- then one fine day, munchie...

What treats do linnies like the best? I’m (probably) getting a pair and want to be prepared :)

Hello, I own a 2 year old Linnieolated or Barred parakeet named Nico and I have some health questions about him. First of all, his eyes look strange to me. As seen in the pictures below, he has partly foggy pupils. This does not worry me as his eyes have been like that for a long time without...

History I have an 8 year old Linnie. We have never missed an annual health checkup. Every annual checkup, the vet said that he is healthy. He has a healthy weight, he acts normal; talking, eating, drinking, chirping, making demon noises in the middle of the night after the light is off, humping...

Hello, I have a pet Linnie named Nico. He is 2 years old and turquoise in coloration. I cut up and feed him fruits and veggies when I wake up and then put seed in at 3pm (Is this good?). Currently he is on the thin side because I just moved and haven't had the chance to go to the store with the...

Hi everyone, I've browsed these forums a few times to find answers to questions I've had but this is my first time posting, so hello, I guess! I have a little cobalt linnie named Indie, and she's the only bird out of my flock of 4 that has ever laid an egg. In fact, she laid too many clutches...

So i’m thinking now of getting a Linnie! I’ve always wanted one but choose a quaker over them in the end. I currently have 2 cockatiels, 1 indian ringneck and a green cheek conure. Would they be alright together? They wouldn’t live in the same cages of course. But can they live with cockatiels...

To establish some background, my boyfriend and I share a 350sf studio and rescued an approximately one-year-old cobalt linnie in March of 2019. We rescued him from a young woman who had to move for college and couldn't keep him. He spent the first year of his life confined to a small cage in a...

What kind of toys do your linnies like to play with? Tried a few now but my linnie doesn't really seem interested in it.

Hey, Just got a linnie. Really doubting what for fresh food (fruit and veggies) to give him. Any one who can tell me?

Help convince me! I am getting a bird and narrowed it down to two options; I will either get a linnie pair or a single parrotlet. But after tons of research, I cant decide! My husband and I work 9-5 and have a baby on the way. I have had birds before but never a parrot of any kind. I have found...

Hi! I recently got a pair of Linnies who needed rehoming off of Kijiji. They are very sweet, however the female has no voice. When the male calls out (if she's away from the cage for example), all she makes in return is this slight whooshing/hissing noise, like she's trying to call but that's...

What are your linnies' favorite foods!? We know they're little piggies, but what's their fav? My boys love grapes. Also, I made a mash for the first time and they loved it! Quinoa and broccoli all over their little beaks.
