What would you say to a first time Linnie owner?
I am literally a week or two away from adopting a Lineolated Parakeet. She is handraised - a June 2008 baby. She currently lives with her breeder as her first forever home never took her.
She has been described as calm, quiet, curious, sweet natured, non-biter. Apparently, unlike her sister, she is happy to play quietly with her toys while her sister squawks for attention  I have asthma, but from what I've read, a Linnie is ok - it's the dusty birds like Tiels that aren't good for me. What would be your advice for a first time bird owner taking on a Linnie?

Dont be alarmed by there odd position. They kinda lean forward on the perch and are known to "lay down" on the perch to sleep. lol. Sign a contract that you will only get just one ROTFL! I have heard they are like potatoe chips too!

Oh, they are precious little peeps!
I've heard that they have different poops compared to other parrots of their size. Larger and looser. That may be b/c of their voracious appetite when it comes to fresh produce :) Can't wait to see pix of your new baby!

Congrats on your impending arrival. 8D Linnies are adorable--I've been thinking about getting one some time in the future, though they don't really breed them here in Hawaii. Shame~

For some reason Linnies are not very popular, They are quiet sweet, and just all around great little birds. I really feel they get overlooked.
