The best species depends largely upon the lifestyle and personality of the human caretaker. Even though they are smaller than other kinds of parrots, most species are very noisy and messy. A budgerigar is a good species to start out with to see if living with parakeets is right for you. Check to see if a local bird rescue organization will let you foster a bird for a few months to see if it will work out. It's a bad idea to treat parakeets as disposable just because they are often cheaper and more easily available than large species. If well cared for, the lifetime commitment of parakeet ownership can be 15 years or more.
