Lineolated parakeets, anyone?

[Eliza]

Does anyone here on lovebirdsplus have a lineolated parakeet... or have experience with them?

Here's a brief description:

I started reading up on linnies right before I brought Beetle home. I think that I've read every possible article that can be found on-line in the last year. They are such adorable creatures! I've been back and forth about bringing one home...

I know a breeder that loves them. She says that they do not bite and they prefer to run rather that fly. They sit kind of funny on their perches like they are leaning forward to see something under them. They sleep that way, too.

Yup -- I read that, too :D And I'll be over to visit 'em once they've been settled in!

There's a breeder at the birdfairs here and they are gorgeous birds! A little high priced for me, but still gorgeous :p
