So true. Although some can be acustomed to: Humans = food givers = humans are nice creatures.Birds are such poetic creatures. So many great poems about the life and personality of birds. I find them mysterious, angelic and yet gregarious animals. Also there is so much we are alike.
Have you kept birds before?
I have 2 Indian Ringneck Parrots. I can tell you keeping birds is no easy job. Id rather tell people the truth than to tell them what wonderful pets they make, because too many people buy birds and dont know what theyre in for, then the bird suffers.
Of course they make wonderful loving loyal entertaining pets! But.. its best to know the facts before you consider getting one.
I would do as much research into the breed of bird you want before you go out and look for your lil baby!
My first birds were cockatiels and I would highly recommend them as a first bird owners pet.
But..
Here is some questions you might want to look at..

Go on some forums and research research research. Goodluck with your decision!
I am an admin at a Indian Ringneck parrot site, if you want to know anything about ringneck parrots.
My 2 are very different in personality and how they get along with humans.. my male.. loves humans and is not afraid of stealing your food if your eating here lol. He loves to check out any visitors and accepts everyone unless they really annoy him.
My female on the other hand, is very dominant and confident when shes comfortable with just her husband (my male bird) and me, but anyone else shes terrified of and hides from or just screetches her guts out at. 2 years on, she still is scared of my partner and wont even stand being in the same room as him!
From a bird lover.. birds are so underestimated as pets! But please.. do some research.
