What is a good bird to keep as a pet?
I am thinking about getting a pet bird and I was hoping I could get some advise to help me pick the right bird.
I am deciding between the:
Parakeet (Budgie), Cockatiel, Finch, Lovebird, and Canary.
I would like a bird who is fairly quiet and likes to be held and petted.
Any advise would be appreciated.
THANKS! 
All of these birds are relatively quiet, but finches and canaries don’t like to be petted much. That’s why I would recommend a parakeet, cockatiel or lovebird. So whichever one you like best you should get! If you get a lovebird, don’t feel you need to get two. Many people think that they need to be kept in pairs, but they don’t. Just be ready to spend time with him/her.
