I thought I would start a thread about my son's linnie, Elisa. She will be two years old in June. She has been with us since December. I know that all linnies are not like Elisa, but she has been with us for four months and has never once bitten anyone. She talks a lot, not much variation in what she says, but all the time. Her voice is very deep for such a small bird, and she is fairly clear, though definitely you can tell it is a bird talking and not a human.
She loves to be on a shoulder. She will sometimes play in hair or rub her face against us. She doesn't allow herself to be petted very often, but the longer she is with us the more she seems to like it.
She loves our bourkes, Stanley. The two will preen one another whenever they are together on the play stand.
If I am observant of her needs, she will go potty on command on a towel instead of on me. Once she learns something, she is a very obedient bird.
Jenny once said that her mom's blue headed pionus is just like a big linnie, and I have to say that Elisa is just like a little pionus, too, because she is very, very similar in personality to our Maximillian pionus, Daisy. Perhaps she enjoys her toys a bit more than the Miximillian, but the Maximillian may begin to play with toys more later.
Elisa is a wonderful companion bird whenever we want someone to just hang out with us. She is non-destructive and calm, yet playful and interactive. She is one of my favorite birds.
