The detail
Lineolated parakeets, or linnies, are small, calm parrots from the mountain forests of Mexico to Panama and the Andes. They are quieter than most parrots and gentle when handled daily, which makes them a good fit for apartments and first-time keepers.

What to weigh
Linnies are quiet and gentle but less flashy than larger parrots, and some learn only a few words. They like to walk and climb, so a wide cage matters more than a tall one.
