I have to vote for cockatiels. I have one and they are great. Parakeets are nice but the couple I have had didn't seem to live very long and were kinda mean tempered.
Both cockatiels I have had were hand fed when babies and had very nice personalities. Mine will hand around with me all day out of the cage if I let it.
Loves to go to the shower with whoever is in there!
Lots of fun. :)

have you tried to get a cockateil? they're easy to take care of, I also have one. they dont make that much noise and you just need to whistle to it in a while and it'll somethimes copy you :)

Growing up, we usually had a cockatiel in the house. They are friendly birds. They can learn to talk. We even had one that could do a perfect imitation of a cat.
I do recommend keeping the wings clipped, though, because they do like to get out.

I've added a couple of websites that give information on various types of birds and their suitability as pets for different lifestyles. the second one, if you scroll down, gives a breakdown on most of them and lots of details like traits, life expectancy, sizes and how to tell male from female.

Good luck.

parakeets are always nice. they are fairly easy to take care of, and can be really pretty if you look for very colorfull ones. they also quiet down fairly quickly in the night, or if you put a towel or something over their cage.
i would suggest two because its always fun to watch they flit aroung together.
