Smile Hi from England!

Hello!!
I'm new to bird board and just though I'de introduce myself.
I'm Justine but almost everyone calls me Jus so feel free.. I'm currently 16 and still at school in the sixth form so living at home.
I currently own 5 cockatiels: Loki, Darcy, Wickham, Cinnamon and Finley as well as 2 budgies: Archie and Flick and then 1 dog, 4 cats, 1 rat, 2 rabbits and 3 goldfish!
I'm hoping to adopt either an Eastern Rosella Pennant or a Crimson. Anyone have any suggestions which one? I can't decide and I doubt I can get both!
Are they good pets? I don't really know much about them. There is also the option of getting a Rock Pebbler/Regents parakeet. Which is best? Please help!
Thank you!
Here are my current birds:

I've definitely read that Rosellas do not make good cage birds, that they are miserable in a cage and far better suited to aviary life. That's all I can tell you!
