It's slang for a bird; originally it referred to the linnet, a songbird which was popular as a pet cagebird in Victorian times, but has since come to mean any bird.

"Linty" in Geordie slang refers to someone or something that is dirty, messy, or unkempt. It can be used to describe a person's appearance or to convey that something is in a state of disarray.
