Lineolated parrots or "linnies" as they are affectionately called, are fast becoming popular with aviculturists. They are a small parrot, about 6 1/2 inches long and stocky built. Their normal or wild color is a beautiful green, however there are also many other color variations available, such as turquoise, cobalt, lutino, olive, etc.
Their natural calls consist of a variety of chirps (no screaming) and most pet linnies learn to talk quite clearly. They are very curious and love to hang out with their people and see what they are doing. Some owners who keep their linnies flighted, say that their birds will fly into other rooms to be with them.
They are excellent eaters and require lots of fresh vegetables in their diet. We use thawed frozen mixed vegetables as a base and add other veggies such as yellow squash, zuccini, and shredded carrots. My linnies love their fresh veggie mix they receive every day as well as diced apples. They also eat pellets, sprouted grains and seeds, cook n'serve mixes and a small amount of spray millet and cockatiel seed. They pick up their food in their feet like the larger parrots which is fun to watch!
Our linnies are lovingly hand raised and are taken out of their cages every day for playtime. We give them lots of snuggles and attention as well as more structured interaction such as teaching them to step up on the hand. They also learn to play with toys and wean to a variety of nutritious foods.
Linnies love to play with toys! Some good toys for linnies can be found on our small toy pages. If you need assistance picking out toys for your linnie, just let us know. We will be happy to give you suggestions.
