Maybe he'd like lovebirds. I had a peach-faced lovebird. They do well in pairs. They are colorful (peach face, green body, aqua blue rump, multi colored tail. Mine was quite friendly, he liked to perch on my shoulder and nibble my collar or ear and eat treats from my hand. (He was also smart, at first he was in a simple travel cage with a door that just lifted up and down and he figured out how to prop it up and escape. I then got a proper one with a latch lol.) I've heard that sometimes paired lovebirds will ignore human interaction because they dote on each other instead, but I'm not sure how true that is, you can look into it or ask around.

The thing to know about lovebirds (or any bird really) is that 1) they are LOUD. 2) They are messy eaters. You will find a ring of discarded seed shells around the cage every day.

Getting one young bird is the way to go. Unless you just want to look at them. Once you have a pair, they get difficult to hold, not impossible, but just more into doing bird things and less interested in people.

I love my "peach faced love birds". However, I also have "eye rings", which are love birds with white around the eyes, and they are noisy and not easy to tame.

One parakeet makes a great friend. Two together gets complicated.

We just got a cockatiel yesterday. He's really loud and funny.

I highly recommend you search high and low to find a tamed bird. That is, if your goal is to be able to hold it.

I like to mostly observe, not hold them, so I prefer having little colorful flocks. Except this time, with the cockatiel. I wanted a buddy. So Cheeky is sitting in his cage next to me as I type. Smile

I'd get an infant parakeet (can you say that?) that was hand fed. Those are pretty, easy to tame and very friendly

We have a guinea pig. I agreed in a moment of temporary insanity. Hay has overtaken DD's room. If you get one, be aware that they live a LOOONG time. It's been two years already and I've had it!

When I was a baby, my parents moved out of Brooklyn. They decided the fish would not survive the trip, so they explained to my three older siblings that the fish were going to live in a new home with friends who also had fish...

So, my mother took my siblings to accompany the fish and say goodbye. The fish were put into the friend's tank, and before the horrified eyes of my siblings (ages 6, 5, and 3) the host fish gobbled up our fish. My mother took 3 hysterically-crying kids home.

Oh my Chayalle , that is horrible!
My kids and dh would love a pet but I'm very allergic. ( seems to get worse as I get older).
Just going into a pet shop makes me wheeze.

I used to have fancy rats when I was single. Adorable little critters and very clean. Now I am struggling to feed hubby and me plus we are TTC so no pets at the moment.
