if you want to have a bird which is loveable and u dont have much time to spend then love birds
if you like bird you can train to talk and do trick and handle then cockatiels
i have 2 cockatiels they are realy cute friendly birds and realy smart
personally i think that keeping pet birds is cruel.now im no conservationalist heck i cant even spell that right but keeping an animal which is meant to fly in the sky, in a cage most the time and then occasionally out around your house is kind of cruel. thats like keeping a dog in one room all its life and tying its two front legs together. so put simply dont get a bird go and feed ducks or something and play flappy bird;P
If you like to listen to singing, and don't mind a bird that doesn't like handling - a canary.
If you like to teach a bird to talk - a budgie (parakeet).
If you like a bird that likes to be handled, and whistles - a cockatiel.
Love birds :-)
Completly in your opinion. Best pet bird smaller than a cockatoo and less than $100. Maybe more than one bird if the bird is social.
