#Linnies

[@evelinablahova5371]

Thank you for this video. Parrotlets are cute, linnies are sweet. And I love the sounds linnies make. So cute.

[@ParrotBliss]

You are so welcome!

[@_gypsysoul]

OMG! You looked like Snow White with all the little birds around 😃🦜

[@ParrotBliss]

Lol, well, they do make my house feel magical. 💩 too, but in a good way!

[@sheridan3028]

Loved watching your with your flock and definitely need this information. Thoroughly appreciate that you provide research-based information along with your personal expertise. Thank you.

[@ParrotBliss]

Thank you so much for watching and posting to me! Yes, I think information based on experience is so much more helpful! Are you getting a Linnie or Parrotlet?

[@sheridan3028]

@@ParrotBliss Hello, again. Thanks for getting back to me. Can't yet decide! I keep reviewing all I can. Think I'll make a list of several that sound 'fitting' to me;; then hang out in a reputable store and see which on my list chooses to come home with me! ;) Thanks for your kind reply, time, hard work,; and especially for sharing your love of Parrots.

[@rf03-f1w]

Linnies are the absolute BEST!

[@ishakak147]

Oh, excellent! Some recent video and it is about difference between parrotlets and linnies - just what I have been looking for! Thank you:)

[@ParrotBliss]

You are welcome - you’ll have to let me know which you get

[@ishakak147]

@@ParrotBliss I think I am more likely to get a linnie. I have never had any bird in my life (and I am almost 30) and I think that linnies could be better option, since as you said - they have more friendly nature. And I like their vibrant colors too! I would be happy to have one green and one blue in my house. My main concern is their messy poops... You said they are poop machines and I heard that their poops are a bit worse than other parrots, because they are very watery. Maybe because of their diet. Someone said that when they fly their poop can be everywhere - even on the wall. Do you also experience that with your linnies? I also think about cockatiels - they are my must in the future. But when I was watching birds on youtube I saw linnies and learn something about them I thought "Hey! Maybe if it will be okay, I could be a good cockatiel owner, I could have linnies too". I heard that they can get along. But for now I still need to wait for a better moment to have any of them and the only thing that I can do now is watch birds on youtube and learn more about them...

[@ParrotBliss]

@@ishakak147 Watching is a great way to enjoy them without the mess! Yes, Linnies poop. I can’t say it’s more watery than a similar-sized parrot. Parrots don’t poop during flight, usually before take-off. Unless they land on the wall, maybe something they can perch on, they only poop where they are perched, of course. So, if you have a pair of Cockatiels and Linnies, you’d be fine. (LOL easy for me to say, I don’t think anything of the poop of 4 small parrots… we do a lot of cleaning, BUT we have a lot more contributors to the mess/droppings here!)

[@ishakak147]

​@@ParrotBliss Thank you very much for your answer. Good to know that they shouldn't poo during flight. I am already watching parrot videos for 3 years and probably still at least 2-3 years before I can get any for my own. So I will subscribe to you and keep on watching (your new video too). Keep on doing great job with your parrot content :)

[@mone4910]

So sweet the way you interact with your birds!

[@ParrotBliss]

Next to my family, my fids are my bliss! I adore them!!!

[@pocopoco6073]

Especially enjoyed this informative video as I have my 1st ever Parrotlet early this year. My little boy now aged 6mths, can talk but really only does this first thing in the morning when he is let out of his cage for the day. He runs through his little repertoire. Trying to increase the vocab is going to take a while! He goes back in his cage for night time. I was advised to check gap between bars on cage budgie cages tend to have wider bar gap than is safe for a parrotlet. Our birds cost considerably less here in the UK than where you live, eg £65 for my cobalt from an experienced and sensible breeder. Interesting to learn about the differences and similarities between Linnies and Parrotlets. Thank you.

[@ParrotBliss]

Thanks for posting, interesting about the price difference. Your Parrotlet sounds great, I'd love to hear how many words he learns in the next 6 months.

[@pocopoco6073]

@@ParrotBliss:) So far he knows What ya doing? Oi! Who's a pretty boy Pocey Poco (his name) And recently Peek Boo Trying to get him to say Hello but no luck so far LOL He was v slow to accept me and I was getting so disappointed. But patience paid off. Have a lovely day

@@pocopoco6073 Patience is required with parrots... wow, you're doing great with what he says - awesome!

[@SoraiaLMotta]

Nice topic!

[@ParrotBliss]

They seem similar, so it was a question I'd had :)

[@linaulnes8821]

Omg. I just love your golden conure. Just watched your video on quiet birds, didt know about them.

[@ParrotBliss]

Best species!

[@aliyawilson9652]

What breed is the white bird on your head? Absolutely adorable 💕

[@user-vp4pv4wy7r]

I love linnies. I had one years ago and want another one. I can't find a breeder here in NYS.

[@ParrotBliss]

They are fantastic! I’ll LYK if I get eggs…

[@TDods21]

Do you have a video of them running on the exercise wheel?

[@ParrotBliss]

I'll have to see-- it would be a great vid!

[@moe2377]

Thanks for such an informative video! We currently have a green cheek and have been thinking about getting a Linnie. I know they couldn't not be caged together but do you think they could end up being good companions for each other when out of the cage? Or would we be better off with slither conure? Thanks!

[@ParrotBliss]

I love Linnies, they are very sweet and they are one of my favorites (of course, they are all my favorite). However, Conures tend to be more assertive, sometimes aggressive. The safe bet is to get another Conure.

[@moe2377]

@@ParrotBliss Ok thanks so much! We have only had our conure for a few weeks and he definitely needs some work but we are seeing progress. Linnies just seem like such sweet and fun birds.

[@ParrotBliss]

@@moe2377 The other choice could be to get 2 Linnies and a conure 😁🦜

[@moe2377]

@@ParrotBliss I like how you think! 😂

[@ParrotBliss]

@@moe2377 it is, after all, the best of both worlds. I get to species and each parrots gets a companion!

[@KimScullion]

My parrotlet loves fruit…I give her a mix of fruits and vegetables but she seems to like berries best

[@drwillixs163]

Are conures usually so quiet ? Also amazing that they didn’t poop thru the video

[@THEE.apples]

No they're usually not quiet.

[@ParrotBliss]

Hi!!! You're the one that asked about Eclectus parrots, if I would add them -- and you posted again but when I go to respond, your posts disappear! Maybe you should always respond to another post. Thank you for posting and the Eckie question!

[@ParrotBliss]

There are different families of conures: most are known for being loud. Golden Conures are a unique species. They were actually first classified as Macaws - interesting - but then were re-classified with deeper DNA/genealogy research (as I understand). Golden Conures can be loud, but I find that it is uncommon. An incredible species and one of my favorites.

[@1hawaii21]

Very interesting video. I think if I had to choose I’d pick a Linnie. ☺️

[@ParrotBliss]

Yeah, they are bigger eaters and poopers, but I agree.

[@dp1275]

Caike but my phone says i can t spell it .

[@mwnemo]

I have an opinion question. My wife and I have cockatiel and my wife unfortunately is allergic :(. My wife can't spend as much one on one time with our tiel and I will habdling it mostly. After research Pionus sounds likes the best match temperament wise but I have read conflicting information if they are also a dusty bird. Thanks for this video as I have been looking into Lennies and Plets as well. Do you have any recommendations for parrots that have a temperment like a cockatiel and maybe pionus? My mother in law has a love bird but we found it would be too high energy for our busy lives. Sonething that will enjoy just spending shoulder time as we go about the house.

[@ParrotBliss]

If your wife is allergic to the Cocateil, then keep in mind that a smaller parrot might be a better idea. If you are keeping the Cocateil, you could add a Linnie. They are sweet and their temperament is similar. At least they are one of the sweetest in all of the parents I have experienced. In any case, keep in mind that they are social animals. If you want a happy bird, you need to have two of a species. They would both spend time on your shoulder.

[@joey6353]

The mauve linnies are actually gorgeous

[@ParrotBliss]

I have to agree!

[@joshuapowers5590]

My friend grows hemp, could I offer my parrotlet some hemp fresh off the plant? I feel like it might enjoy the stimulation of picking at it. No seizures, but I know cbd has tons of benefits.

[@ParrotBliss]

Diff parts of the plant have diff properties. Research and make sure the part you want to offer is not toxic. Research how much you can give safely. Make sure there are no pesticides. I am always extremely cautious and conservative about introducing something new

[@ronpettitt6184]

I had a Linnie once, he name was Twig.

[@ParrotBliss]

Sweet birds, right?

[@dp1275]

What do u think about the groups who train their parrots to come and they often go in groups and let their parrots fly and sore. Then they call them back and they come back to owner. They seem to be big parrots. One of the reason I haven’t gotten one is I can t wrap my heart around a bird that doesn’t fly

[@ParrotBliss]

I think there is nothing better for a bird. However, you have to have a lot of time to train for this. I understand it takes over a year, or more, and there is risk of injury or loss. Most people, like myself, don't have the time for this kind of training - or unwilling to risk the bird getting lost, hunted, stolen-

[@Robin3615]

I always thought I would name a Lineolated Squiggy if I ever got one. The old Laverne & Shirley had friends Lenny & Squiggy.

[@ParrotBliss]

LOL! I remember! Yes, Squiggy is a great name and Linnies are some of THE sweetest!

[@maureenmackey4879]

GreenLonnie . Vlasic. Lol. He’s not a stork, But I love the name but I may just use it myself. Do they share out time well wth English budgies?

[@ParrotBliss]

I haven't put them together- and we choose names! Donka and Mary!

[@theneverknowgirls]

Werewud i buy the linnie 😅.

[@ParrotBliss]

You have to find a breeder and perhaps have it shipped. Facebook has a group for Linnie-lovers and there are some breeders there.

[@theneverknowgirls]

Hi theere thank you so so much for replying!, yes i dont have facebook, and i wouldnt know frist were to look forna legit breeder. Dont wanna grt scrammed by a wannabe one haha. Ive looked on google tho...not sure what im doing tho

[@theneverknowgirls]

Oh my they ship bird?, i think i read on one site that they can. I was wondering how safe that would be for the bird 🥺🤔 and how they wud do it

[@michaelrassel6756]

What's the difference between a parolet and a parakeet?

[@ParrotBliss]

Actually, a "parakeet" means long-tail -- Parrotlets are not parakeets because they have a short tail. Budgies, Conures and Indian Ringnecks are "parakeets."

[@kinesis4868]

How is your parrotlet not knawing your cuticles off? My very tame parrotlet mango just constantly knaws at my fingers very sharply unless I’m stroking her. She also nips my neck and if she’s on my head she tries to hang down and eat my eyebrows. Unless i have the time to sit and scritch her or give her treats I can’t have her with me, just chilling. My less tame parrotlet Monty doesn’t fly to me all the time so I can have him out while I’m sat or being busy. I love the linnies.

[@piotrjanczak3594]

Yours parrots have good nest on Your head.

[@ParrotBliss]

Lol! Not my first choice for a nest for them!

So, believe it or not, we've used three of those names before! And we don't repeat names. 🥰

How much CBD WOULD U GIVE a parrot??

[@ParrotBliss]

Depends on the bird's size and the mg of CBD in the liquid

[@Kitsaplorax]

Parrotlets are parrot concentrate. All the goodness of a Macaw but in a tiny package.

Very nicely put! I have to agree!

Birds are great but what is the difference in a scientific understanding of the birds?

[@vzsshadow3141]

Lineolated color: Green (dominant) and Turquoise (autosomal recesive) Rest are mutation: Dark factors - Autosomal - dominant incomplet: - dd (no dark factor) - Normal Green - Turquiose - dD (1 dark factor) - Dark Green - Cobalt - DD (2 dark factor) - Olive - Mauve Ino - Recesive Sex linked: should be non, splited (for males, ino bearer but not visible), visual (green + ino = lutino, turq. + ino = cremino) Greywings - Sex-linked imcomplet dominant: - male should be either none, 1 factor or 2 factor - female should be none or 1 factor Violet mutation: Most visible on cobalt, should be none, 1 or 2 factor; Misty, fallow, cinnamon are rare :)

Yay! Someone who can explain it to me! What is Ino? Under dark factor, what is Mauve?

I own a budgie Nellie (2019) an got (in april)2 linnies a boy called wacca an a girl bubbie (name/nicknames of my grandparents ) . What I like about linnies is sometimes their chatter sounds like Guinea pigs wheeking😊, they're definitely more quiet than Nellie, kitchen roll helps alot with big wet droppings💩 . Though mine aren't tame yet...an probably been set back 😔 they went vet last week an had their nails trimmed(they really needed it ) they haven't forgiven me yet 😔...but cheer up a bit when I put tina turner on for them budgie an linnies both sing along . Names wise what about Teddy, pippin , luna , tabbatha , fidget, stitch.

[@ParrotBliss]

Congratulations on your new linnies! If you spend time with them, they should come around, especially if they are young. Yes, I love the way the sound too! I like your grandparent's nicknames!

[@ParrotBliss]

Toe bitting is a sign that the adult is not happy with the baby. Be very careful and wait for the younger one to get older. Otherwise, the baby will likely get injured or worse- let them be together when you are supervising and they are not in their cages, but rather on common ground.
