Hey all you fellow bird lovers out there in pixie land hehe!

Okay, so for my birthday I've been given the means to take on another member of my pet-family. I used to have a fancy parakeet named Breezy, she was my everything...and before my b/f and while I was having very hard times, I do not exaggerate (aw, I really do miss her still, it'll be around 3 yrs since she's passed soon).
I feel I may be ready to move on...i've thought about finches, canaries, lovebirds, conures, cockatiels, parakeets...lol and what I keep coming back to is thinking about buying a pair of lovebirds. This would be good so they could be happy and keep each other company when I'm not around-nothing would break my heart more than to think of the poor baby by itself without a friend....I also have always just loved members of the parrot family-to me, it looks like they're always smiling
My question is, for you bird owners, what kind of bird do you most like to own, and why?

I have love birds...at one point 5, including a breeding pair and their kiddos. I hand raised one of the 5 from the minute it hatched from the egg. He is Sassafrass, my love. I gave away the mom and dad birds because I read that letting the birds inbreed caused abnormalities down the line. Currently I have 2 males, Sigfried & Roy, who an wild and live together. Then I have Sassafrass, who I am his mate If you want a lovebird to love you, you can not give them a bird mate. Sassafrass has some masturbatory issues but overall seems to be a happy bird. He is comforted I believe by knowing the other birds are near even if they do not live in the same cage. If you have any questions feel free to PM. Main down side~ they are noisy as hell.
