Thumbs up Great birds for families

I frequently see posts (here and elsewhere) by people who are considering a bird and want to know what species make good "family birds" or parrots that would be good around children.

I'm thinking of putting together a blog post on the subject (you know me and how much I love to blog about birds! ), but I'm not a species expert by any stretch of the imagination.

Hoping to tap into the board's collective wisdom to come up with some good reasons/testimonials why certain species are great family birds.

I'll attribute and link to anyone whose comments I use.

So please have at it: What birds do you recommend for families (with younger children) and why?
