Lineolated parakeets or "linnies" as they are affectionately called, are fast becoming popular with aviculturists. They are about 6 1/2 inches long and stocky built. They come in a variety of beautiful colors (as well as the normal green which is also gorgeous) and have affectionate, even tempered personalities.
As pets they cannot be beat! Their natural calls consist of a variety of chirps (no screaming) and most pet linnies learn to talk. 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. My linnies love their fresh veggie mix they receive every day as well as diced apples. They also eat a high quality cockatiel seed mix, cook n' serve mixes, sprouted grains and seeds, and pellets.
Our linnies make adorable pets. We spend a lot of time with them. 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.
All of our linnies are close banded, DNA sexed, and come with a Certificate of DNA results (included in the price).
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.
