    Vet visits

    Hello everyone, Our linnie-baby Goose is getting his first vet visit this week. He's almost three years old, but we got him last Feb and we figure it's time. It's also my first experience with an avian vet. What can we expect? What questions should we ask? We want this visit to provide a...

    Toys are scary?

    Does anyone have advice on getting your linnie to interact with new toys and perches? We have a few things that Goose loves to play with, including a perch and foraging toy in his cage, but outside the cage is another story. When I'm working from home he's generally just on my shoulder (or my...

    Food Quantities

    Another thing that's been on my mind- I have read a lot about what kinds of things to feed Linnies, but how much of it? Our Goose is getting a mix of Linnie Mix, Miracle Meal and a diminishing amount of the ZuPreem pellets he's used to in his food bowl. About 1/2 of a normal spoon of each...

    Cuttlefish bone / mineral blocks

    My Linnie, Goose, hasn't touched the cuttlefish bone or the mineral block at all since I've gotten him. They are both in the cage. I changed the cuttlefish bone holder to see if that was the issue, but no dice. I remember the budgies I had as a kid would use the cuttlefish bone a lot, so I...

I've seen the list of foods to not share with your bird (onions, avocado, coffee, etc) but is that a list of foods/things that are like sprint-across-the-room bad if he takes a bite? Like, go-immediately-to-the-vet bad...

    help with excessive vocalization and aggression

    Hi everyone! We adopted our Linnie "Goose" from a home where he lived for two years since being hand raised. He's been in our home for about a month now, and we think he's adjusting well enough to start tackling some training and problematic behaviors we're seeing. We would love to hear any...

    new bird transport- any tips?

    Hello! We are picking up a 2 year old male Linnie tomorrow. It's a four hour car trip (each way) and we'd love to hear any tips on making it more comfortable for the bird, especially since we haven't met it yet. We have a small carrying thing that doesn't have a lot of windows (see photo), so...
