Here is a "What is the best pet bird for me?" quiz. http://www.all-pet-birds.com/best-pet-bi... I found it very helpful in figuring out what bird I should get. I don't know what your specific preferences are concerning birds like if you want to teach it to talk or want it to be cuddly or like children so I think that taking the quiz will help you. I hope this helps. :) God Bless. :) Also just thought I'd mention, I also dislike cockatiels.

I had two parakeets that died earlie because I got them from petsmart. I am going to get rid of everything except the cage and I'm going to clean it good. I want a bird that will love me. I'm not that into cockatiels. I have a cage that is 36in x 25in x 13in.

Thanks
