What Kind of Parrot Would you reccomend for me?
I absolutely LOVE all kinds of parrots and I have one cockatiel currently. I really want to get another bird eventually, but I just can’t decide on a breed. Here’s waht I want in a bird:
-medium to large size (at least the size of a conure)
-CAn learn at least a few words
-not overly tempermentall and demanding
-not extremely loud (I will have neighbors)
-can entertain its self when I’m gone
-nice looking, I love color 
-could tolerate another, smaller bird (my ‘tiel)
So, what breed would you suggest?
I notice you don’t mention price, playful, or cuddly. In which case my first choice for you would be a pionus. They’re medium sized, gentle, and quiet, though less playful or cuddly than many other parrots. The Maximillian’s is probably the best talker. see http://www.avianweb.com/pionus.htm
Pyrrhura conures (e.g., green-cheeked and maroon-bellied) are, by definition, “conure size”, but they’re much smaller than the Aratinga conures (e.g., sun, jenday), which is probably what you meant. On the other hand, they’re also much quieter. Sun conures are notoriously loud and would be a bad choice for an apartment. Like suns, they’re playful, cuddly, and fairly demanding. see http://zoologica.wordpress.com/2008/09/11/living-with-a-maroon-bellied-conure/
Lovebirds would be unlikely to get along with a cockatiel.
Quaker or monk parrots are a bit bigger than a cockatiel, and not too terribly loud. They talk well, but are fairly demanding. Their biggest disadvantage is that they’re illegal in many places:

You could also consider a poicephalus (e.g., Senegal or Meyers). They’re also a bit bigger than cockatiels, not too loud, and generally playful, cuddly, and not too difficult. Many talk well. see http://proaviculture.com/poicephalus.htm
If you wanted a larger bird, you could consider an eclectus. While they are capable of being quite loud, most usually aren’t loud very often. see http://www.landofvos.com/articles/misconceptions.html
You probably want to avoid Aratinga conures, amazons, cockatoos, and macaws on the basis of noise.
Groovin’ with the ‘tiels
