What type of bird do I have?!?

[kykel2]

I recently got a bird and need help identifying him/her. I know it's not a parakeet or a budgie. It speaks too which through me a little. Any ideas!?!

a lineoleated parakeet, also called "linnie" endearingly.


looks like the cobalt blue mutation

Dally is spot on!

Lucky you! I wanted a Linnie, but couldnt find any breeders in California that had any babies. Enjoy your pretty little birdy!

it is a cobalt blue lineolated parakeet, better known as a linnie.single dark factor
I use to own 3 of them, 1 creamino, 1 cobalt blue, 1 mauve, (double factor)
they are a hidden jewel of birds. they are amazing climbers, slow like a parrot, smart, and have wonderful temperments.
the only thing you have to watch for is they love to hide under blankets, cushions, etc...
many have died due to owners not knowing they are hiding under things and they get sat on and crushed
