Hello all! I'm thinking of adding another Linnie, I have a female that is 1 years old, Summer is a real joy, she not hand shy or fussing, she is everyones friend even the dogs she not afraid, she makes the kissing sound at them when they enter the room, I want to add so she will have a play mate, the breeder has 2 females one green greywing and the other turquoise, I know I want 1 but was thinking about getting the other female just incase Summer don't get along with the baby. Do anyone have multiple linnies? if so please share!!

Most of my linnies are paired-up. They almost universally get along well together. Introduce them slowly, first on neutral territory, etc. You may lose some of your bond with your linnie if they get a friend, but I think it's worth it. They'll still love you, but you may not feel as close.

Ohhh! Thank you for the help! Do you think 3 will be ok or is it better to be in pairs?

Even numbers are better. By nature they pair off.

I had poor luck adding a third male with my two males. Maybe there are cases where it works, but I'd take the advice already given: even numbers.
