Best bird for me?

What would be the best pet bird for me?

I have a dog, but she is harmless and literally won't harm a fly, but she can be kind of hyper - hardly ever barks though, only if somone knocks at the door.
Characteristics:
No canaries or finches
indoor
fairly tame
fairly quiet (e.g won't get thrown out the window when you get a headache)
Fairly cheap

Will be let out alot. Thanks.

I would recommend a young pair of these....Rosa Bourkes...Will tame fairly easily if young.About one and a half size of a budgie,pretty to look at...and the bonus...they warble and chatter..No squawking and screaming.
May take some finding but well worth it...they live up to twenty years.

You lucky git...I got stuck with Michelle Pfeiffer again...
Cockatiel is fine...shame to keep a bird on it's own though unless you're with it all day.

Cockatiels or Parrots. Lovebirds. It's your own personal preference
