Love My Linnie

Hatchling
So exciting! He looks great! Watch the fresh stuff that isn't high in Vit A. Cucumber basically water. Focus on the red, yellow, orange veggies. Linnies need high protein, so don't go too crazy with fresh. They need room for stuff with fats and protein too. Hey, if you want to work on step ups, wrap your finger in some vet wrap (like this HERE) to provide better grip. Their feet are very funny... flexible but not all that good for perching on wide diameter areas. Australian species have long, slender toes and it is easier for them. I find grip on wider perch places really builds confidence. Keep us posted on how it goes, and when you find a solution for wet poops down your neck when he is all cozy in there.... share! ♥
👍 😆

So we are completely unimpressed with the foraging box.

Instead, he is now asleep in the crook of my neck 🤣 5DB9076C-5DCB-42FF-8248-1A4D23616528.jpeg

Do Linnies “coo”?
He makes this slight noise, it sounds like a cell phone on vibrate.

Nice foraging box! What a spoiled little burb! Mine never wanted anything to do with them either. Foraging through a big pile of veggies or my cooked feasts sure get them exploring though lol - The cooing may be the baby begging sound? If so, record it on audio as it is fleeting! I love the cozy cuddled up picture ♥

Could be :)
His voice changes considerably when he’s on my shoulder. It’s not the typical Linnie “chatter”, I’ll try to record it..

Great news about the box! That sound is a baby begging sound, they sometimes keep doing it when they feel cozy and happy when adults. Adorable! If poops on your necks are a problem, baby burp shoulder protectors are a common fix. Glad it's going well!

I bought a 24 pack of dish towels from Amazon for precisely that reason 🙃
I hope that he keeps it up, it’s quite cute :)
