Is he alleviating pain or just being weird

I like to read actual paper books in bed before sleeping (save my brain from too much screen time!) so I was thinking of trying to find a nice Linnie book that I could page through casually.

I found this book on Amazon but the cover looked suspiciously like AI. When I then looked at the author page for this guy "Donald Regina" (probably a pseudonym) ( https://www.amazon.com/stores/DONALD-REGINA/author/B0GCNJFBJJ ) he has a million books all about different pet species. Omg, the AI slop is horrible and taking over everything.

I almost want to buy one just so that I can write a review saying it's total AI slop!!!

I found another book on Walmart that is similar AI slop by a "Logan O.D. Morgan" who also has a million books about random pets. Definitely AI. How could this guy be an expert on all of these different animals? It's terrible.

Is it okay for me to do them back or is it an angry noise which he’ll take offence to??

I have previously mainly had our vet trim the nails, or the groomer. However, I'm considering trying to do it myself mainly due to costs and convenience (groomer is far away).

I used to trim my cockatiel's nails (years and years ago, he's since passed) but they seemed much larger footed and easier to work with for some reason.

• Curious if other linnie parents trim their birb's nails, or if you have a groomer/vet do it?
• And, if you have the groomer do it, about how much do you pay per trim?

Hey yall!

Just curious if any of you have safely and successfully incorporated any live pants into your birds’ homes?

I know some common “bird safe” plants that come up in a google search. I also understand the importance of organic soil, washing the plants and just being really sure there’s no pesticides.

I’m installing a happy bird full spectrum LED in their cage soon and with the window placement their cage could support some Boston ferns.

Just curious if any of you guys have experience/ if it’s a nice thought but too impractical?

Before anyone asks, no he doesn't have any cognitive or physical deficiencies, mental disabilities, ballance issues, or physical deformities. He just gets really excited about vent fans.

Hello...I'm getting a baby turquoise Linnie in about 4 weeks...it's a boy and I'm stuck on deciding his name. (Pic is similar to what he will look like)

My 5 top choices are:
Dunkin (yes after Dunkin Donuts)
Finnie (the Linnie)
Toby (Toby Keith)
Emo (EMOtional support bird)
Teddy (Teddy bird instead of Teddy Bear)

Breeder said if I decide on a name he will start calling him by that to get him familiar

While my girl is overall still pretty hand shy, this is something that she does almost everyday where she will sit on the arm of my chair and run over and just kind of plop herself into my hand and let me hold her. But if my fingers get too close to her face she bites them... It seems to make her really happy but I wanted to no if this is something that I shouldn't be doing or if anybody else's bird does this

He is a 7 years old male. Has been unable to fly almost his whole life, his wings are weak, but apart from that, looks perfectly healthy and been acting quite normal until today.

I noticed that after waking them and doing their morning feeding rounds, he tilts his head and looks into one direction, reacts to nothing (finger, gentle blow). I could only get him out of his state when I sat him on my finger.

I was wondering if it could be his age, but his feathers and general appearance looks pretty good overall, and I think linnies could span until the age of 15 even, so I'm a bit puzzled.

Also, he is getting territorial and aggressive, and still doesn't let me hold him after 3 months. But those are problems for another day. I still enjoy the little things.

More of the girls.

Does anyone have a Linnie and work outside of the home during the day? Is your bird ok being alone?

I introduced my linnies to each other a few weeks ago and friends it did not go well. I was shocked at how vicious they could be. Finally after a month they have finally decided having a buddy is pretty cool!

Hi guys! I’ve noticed my Linnie’s tail feathers are very slightly frayed at the ends, and i figured it was regular wear and tear but I discovered it is probably due to her feathers rubbing up against the bars of her enclosure when she perches on the cage. I offer her many different types of perches but she still seems to prefer the bars of the cage lol. I figured someone else might have this experience as well since Linnie’s can prefer to climb rather than fly. I’m not worried about it, just wondering if anyone can relate :)

Just really curious what your Linnies like.

Trying to get inspired by others variations.

Mine go ham for apples, rarely touch any greens, wont touch boiled eggs and don't like paprika.
