A tiel is a perfect choice. The females tend to be real snuggly and the males are often real playful. Either way, they love to be with thier human cargivers, and are FANTASTIC family members.

sun conures are so gentle natured, mine is so cuddly he hangs all over me every min. of the day if he could. I never thought a sun conure would be this affectionate, but mine is the sweetiest bird I've ever owned.

I had a sun conure who was very affectionate, but conures as a whole are definantly loud! Even the green cheeks that I've met have had a rather loud call - especially compared to a cockatiel.

Cockatiel sounds like a great bird for that situation. Personally, I'm not much of a fan of their look but they are wonderful birds. My boyfriend used to own one and it was the sweetest, cuddliest little bird (who went away to college with his sister).

I would also liked to say a Tiel. I had a male and he was the sweetest bird I've ever owned. He cleaned and preened me all day long. He followed me everywhere and he ocassionally slept on my chest. Big time cuddly kisser. Get a TIEL...JMO.
