Linneolated (Barred) Parakeets, AKA 'Linnies'
The Lineolated is indeed a good choice for the person who wants a smaller, easy-to-care-for pet.
They are said to have a sweeter temperament than budgies, lovebirds or parrotlets.
They are playful, fun little beings and can often be seen hanging upside down from their perches, sometimes even from one foot!
Linnies enjoy bathing and eagerly display their wings for a warm mist.
They are playful and tend to be quiet - chattering rather than screeching.
They like to chatter in the early and late hours of the day -- as birds generally like to do.
People particularly enjoy the fact that they are such capable talkers. Some of them may learn to talk as youngsters, barely a few months old. Their speech is very clear, but their vocabulary tends to be limited. They are adept at learning all kinds of sounds and whistles.
These little 6 inch birds are a joy to own, you could not ask for a nicer bird!
Lifespan 10 to 15 years
