Do Linnies Make Good Pets?

[@prettylushpaige]

Home girl is about to fall off your shoulder. Your enthusiasm curbed your awareness of the poo on your chest. Haha. Love it.

[@ParrotBliss]

I’m sorry to say, I ignore the poops. There are so many of them, as long as the birds don’t fall or hurt themselves :)

[@1hawaii21]

She is so sweet. I’m so glad to see you got more. They’ll have their own flock. They are such interesting little birds.💕

[@ParrotBliss]

They are interesting! And so cute! Yes, you know me, I always think they should have a flock of their own species...

[@Loveofpets]

Omg! You have 4 now. Congratulations. I love linnies. One tip that I will mention is that they love to burrow so be careful not to sit on then as they love to go under blankets and seat cushions. I have heard many stories of owners sitting on then unfortunately 😕

[@ParrotBliss]

I read that too, sounds terrible. Thanks for the tip. Yes, for because I really like for them to be a flock!

[@asherwhittecur3479]

Such a unique sound 👌 😍

[@ParrotBliss]

I just love the way they sound. Unique for a parrot!

[@asherwhittecur3479]

@@ParrotBliss first time I hear about this type of species of bird very beautiful and I love how they sound ❤

[@patriciadesanti9452]

I had a pair of linnies for 8 years. I was their 3rd owner. I thought they were the sweetest birds. When Amy passed Rory became quite a talker. He lived about 2 more years. They nibbled but never drew blood.

[@ParrotBliss]

Thanks for posting, Patricia. It's great to hear about your experience with them. I can't believe you were their third owner! Yes, I've had some nibbles that were asking for food, so they had a little emphasis to them! Lol but so far they seem like really sweet birds. I just can't believe they aren't more popular. It's also interesting to hear that Rory became more of a talker afterwards... They are supposed to be good talkers from what I've read. It's nice to hear you confirm that.

I am interested in Linnies, so this video came up at a wonderful time! I live in the north east of the USA and unfortunately can’t find any breeders in this area and Bird shops don’t seem to carry them! I really enjoyed this video! Thank you so very much. Best of luck with yours!

[@ParrotBliss]

Try The Aviary Stire in Miami- they may not ship, not sure

[@vanessadaniel-collins7236]

I’m so excited to follow along with you on the Linnie train - I just picked one up today . Can’t wait to see your tips and tricks. I admire your bonds with your flock

[@ParrotBliss]

Thanks Vanessa- did you see my 'Bat box video"? I suspect a dark place to sleep is important for them. May I ask what state you live in? I know here in Florida they are hard to find, so I'm just curious. What color did you get?

[@sativumcoalho3920]

Thanks for all the information! I wish I could afford so many birds like you!!

[@ParrotBliss]

It’s a passion and a lifestyle for me, and I consider myself blessed!

[@Wubadubadub1967]

Not to be dramatic, but I literally love you and your energy so much. I adore how passionate you are about them! It makes me even more excited about them and getting to learn more, the way you talk makes it so easy to understand. I absolutely love this video and your channel, thank you

[@ParrotBliss]

Thank you! Just read your post, don’t know why I didn’t see it before. Hope you are still watching!

[@truedatdatdatdat]

*lol 😩😂😂😂I looove how the 4th one randomly flies into scene & onto your head and you’re like “aaaand maybe a 4th one” LOL you’re so cute..,, linnies are truly adorable... I can easily see why it would be hard to just get one..... weirdly I think the green ones are the most striking.. that green looks like it has a self emanating glow*

[@ParrotBliss]

Laughing! Yes, the fourth one randomly flies in... I agree, the greens actually do have a nice glow to them. You can't see it in pictures or on film, but they have a blue hue on their heads too. So small, so cute, so beautiful!

[@truedatdatdatdat]

@@ParrotBliss *im still laughing. youre just so hilarious & so damn cute. im sure the Linnies are telling each other how much they like their new cute human as much as you are telling us about them! :] I cant wait until they start talking for you.. will be very interesting to see & hear.*

[@dcikaruga]

Will they be friendly towards guests and friends that come into your home?

[@ParrotBliss]

They will be shy, but not mean. Mine are all angels

[@francisnguyen5700]

I would like to have one of those linnies but I could not find any in Houston Texas. Where can I find them?

[@GoatedFart29355]

@@ParrotBliss thank you

[@hikarusato5923]

I have been thinking about Lonnie for a long time but my final decision of getting budgie instead is poop. I have no regrets! But they are so lovely. When I saw them at BOB, I was so tempted but got English budgie instead.

[@ParrotBliss]

I think budgies are one of the best parrots! They are just so undervalued - so I'm glad that you got one. I think you will love it! Yes, so far the linnies really poop and poop and eat and then repeat! If you saw them at BOB, then you saw where I got Ari and Pumpkin!

[@ParrotBliss]

How is your GCC? And Cape?

[@hikarusato5923]

@@ParrotBliss they are well. As you know one of my GCC escaped but found 20 hours later. She is doing well since her return. Our cape is well as well. I have two budgies. One is English and the other is regular. The English is very different from American and we are enjoying the personality difference. I highly recommend English Budgies

[@ParrotBliss]

@@hikarusato5923 I'm happy to hear that you got two budgies, I think they'll keep each other company. Yes, the English and the American really do have different personalities. I think it depends on the breeder, it isn't uncommon for the English to be overbred. We've had both and we found that the Americans were much smarter and healthier. Again, I think it depends on the breeder though. You should post pictures on Parrot Bliss Flock on FB, I'd love to see them

[@vanessadaniel-collins7236]

I would love to see their cage set up as well please

[@ParrotBliss]

Sure, send a picture on the Facebook Messenger to Par rot Bliss

[@Mapmoyle]

Wildtype birds are generally more robust compared to colour mutations because breeders tend to inbreed stock to select for the mutated colours so you would expect them to be less robust than the wildtype. Cross-breeding with wildtype gives 'hybrid' birds that are out bred which gives more genetic variety and generally more robust offspring.

[@Noir6472]

How is their dander? Is it a lot like cockatiels or is it similar to conures where it’s no dander ?

[@ParrotBliss]

They are not dust-producing, like Cockatoo birds-- so they are more like conures. Fabulous little guys!

[@DirectarAmi]

In the UK we are lucky to have them. They go for £100! It’s shocking how expensive they are in the US.

[@ParrotBliss]

Yeah, my understanding is that we pay a lot for parrots…. I’m glad though. The more people are willing to pay a lot for their parrot (generally speaking) the more likely they are to take good care of them. :)

[@DirectarAmi]

@@ParrotBliss you make a very good point here. The amount of birds in the UK which are rehoused is phenomenal!

[@WhiteDraqon]

Linnies are 20-60$ in the Czech Republic:)

[@helenrowlett6804]

a lot of animal breeders will inbreed animals in order to get weird colors. that could explain why the green ones are more healthy.

[@ParrotBliss]

Yes, definately possible.

[@OrioleBeagle]

How does Linnnie poop compare to that of a Green Cheek Conure?

[@ParrotBliss]

I don't pay attention enough to notice, sorry

[@shelleycharlesworth5177]

I would love to get a linnie ! I have 2 regular budgies and one English budgie they are all under one year old. Would a linnie fit in with them? Yours are so adorable.

[@ParrotBliss]

Budgies are fantastic! If you get two Linnies, it won’t matter because they can keep each other company :)

[@darthsugarpuff788]

Do clipped wings regrow?

[@ParrotBliss]

Yes. Depending on the size of the parrot, they can take a couple months to about 6+ months. Parrots don’t necessarily molt all their feathers, so it can take time for all of their feathers to grow out.

[@karenmorgan4069]

Where did you get them from? I’ve been looking for one in Colorado.

[@ParrotBliss]

They are hard to find- expecting mine to breed again next to season.

[@AceTechno2]

hey the petsmart in monument colorado just got one in stock for $450

[@ninabaebae6334]

So where did you find them ?

[@ParrotBliss]

Only place left is with a breeder. If you're in Florida and interested, send me a PM on Facebook and I'll give you the contact info.

[@liamcarter3509]

Do you have to keep them in pairs/groups or can they be kept single

[@ParrotBliss]

Like most parrots, especially smaller ones, they do better in pairs or groups- make sure the cage is bigger too

[@CariBarbour]

Clipping wings is very mentally distressing to the bird and can also result in injury from falling. For anyone reading, Please never clip wings, just learn how to train instead and then you won't need to. Start with offering them food when you eat to signal to them that you are part of the flock. Make sure the food is safe for them like vegetables, no dairy and certain birds have certain allergies so make sure to research your breed. Scrambled eggs are my go to

[@ParrotBliss]

I agree, clipping is hard on a parrot. I appreciate your expressing yourself. Everyone hopefully does what is best for them and their bird. My mission is to help people increase their bond so that they adore their bird, have a deeply bonded relationship that lasts a long time. If clipping is not necessary for safety reasons, hopefully they can create the bond without clipping.

[@CariBarbour]

@@ParrotBliss Thank you for your response. My ringneck came clipped by breeder and all his primary feathers were cut off. He has fallen many times and snapped all his tail feathers. Its a constant worry that he will fall. He's a great climber but he sees my other birds flying, tries to fly and falls. It's heartbreaking. Hand raising the baby parrot is the absolute best way to bond. Second to that in my book is holding food in your mouth for him to take like your his mother. Some people do a hack job and actually damage the wings. Repeated clipping can make the bird never learn to fly. There are many other ways to bond that don't involve causing your bird mental distress. It takes a very long time for the feathers to grow back. My IRN can still not fly but some day I am hoping very much he will learn 🙏

[@علاويالبدري-ش8ل]

I have 2 bonded linnes and I want to breed them how do I do that please answer thanks

[@jessthemess2284]

I have been considering Linnies for ages now, but I have heard that their poop is very large and messy for their size. I have 2 budgies, so compared to them is it really that bad?

[@ParrotBliss]

I think I'm the wrong person to ask because I have larger parrots, so I really don't think much of the Linnie's poop. Yes, they poop more than parrots their size, but not THAT much... And, they seem so interested in people. I love them! very sweet and friendly - but like all parrots, they do bite.

[@isabellevandenheuvel3619]

I have a linnie. they poop often. Sometimes large and sometimes really small(It’s easy to clean up though). However they are very cuddly and loving and once they bond with you, they will literally be you best friend and follow you everywhere. They with never leave you side and even when they do, they will call for you to get them (really clingy and adorable). So if poop is the only con, I would TOTALLY get a linnie. It’s worth it!

[@vzsshadow3141]

I agree with it, however according the voice of that greywings baby i guess he is hungry (i recognise the baby "give me food" voice :D) :) btw in europe is a lot cheaper 30-45$ in romania/hungary, in netherland maybe a bit more expensive

[@ParrotBliss]

Yes, they always want me to feed them! I have been surprised with them -- I've never had such good eaters. They LOVE their vegetables! They nip at me a lot, so I usually have food when I spend time with them to feed them vegetables and not fingers! LOL -- Love hearing from you!

[@Pamelamusic371]

I have a Linnie male, he’s never bonded with me or family. I can’t, with toys, treats, songs get him out of the cage. Even if I leave him with the cage open he won’t come out. I’ve taken him to the vet he’s fine she says he’s sweet! 🤦🏽‍♀️I’m just thinking that I should return him to the breeder. I just want him to be happy

[@ParrotBliss]

How long have you had him? How old is he?

[@lisesvaasand3791]

I have to ask. Do ringnecks really make good pets? Mine have a lot of issues….

[@ParrotBliss]

It depends on who you ask! How many do you have? Which ones are male and female?

[@kinesis4868]

Are they a little less nippy than the parrotlets? I love my parrotlets but boy do they knaw on me constantly 😅 I have to put them away after a while because my fingers can’t take it.

[@isabellevandenheuvel3619]

Depends... mine doesn’t really like fingers so she does nip. But they’re mostly just gestures, she rarely actually bites.

I would like to have one of those linnies but I could not find any in Houston Texas. Where can I find them?
