I got some, one lovebird and some canary.

lovebirds are a little bit noisy but you can play with them. If you take one of those make sure he is not scared by your hand (they can bite if they are) if you take only one it usually better because it get more affectionate with you (see you like a other bird). I got a male one and he act just like a dog .

canary sing a lot, those don't like being around human but with some time and patience they can comes at you, they don't need to fly a lot In fact they prefer being in cage. They can be more then one by cage but make sure they are of the same gender if you put more then two (they may fight each other ). Usually the male is the one who sing but sometime the female can too. I got three of them 2 male and one female.

Personally, we've had birds for most of our life.

If you're planning on getting a bird, the main thing to remember is that is doesn't matter what kind of bird it is, all birds like to have a pretty decent amount of space.
Like, sometimes there's a random character on a TV program or movie or comic or whatever who has like... finches in a dinky little cage and it just makes us cringe.

We feel we should note that how birds react to a place depends on a multitude of factors- species, environment, raising, stress levels, familiarity, breeding, personality and such.
(At least once one of our birds got out in the many years we had them, but they came back because their aviary was where they knew food and water and safety to be (which is notable because the times we are mentioning were outside, not in a house.))

Anyway, once upon a time our house had several aviaries set up outside. Over the years they saw canaries, zebra finches, mannikin finches (I have absolutely no idea what type they were off the top of our head), lovebirds, king quail and budgies. More than one generation in several of those cases. After the rats decided that stealing the bird seed wasn't enough and whittled our numbers down to just two budgies and a single king quail whilst we were on holiday, we moved the three survivors to one of our portable aviaries.
The outside aviaries have since been dismantled, because nobody is trusting those feral rats.
It's been many years since then and now we're down to just Cloudybird.
These days we're forever sad that we can't have him in an aviary like the ones he grew up in, but we take the portable aviary he's lived in since then outside when the weather is reasonable.

He is an old man and he talks at the lorikeets, because he is all alone, and that is also sad.

His name was actually alternately "Cloud" or "Ying" when he was young, to match with his very dark-winged sister "Yang" who was just about our favourite budgie ever- a very pleasant girl while she was alive.

As it stands, Cloudybird is a white and blue recessive pied and currently... what... 13? years old. (There are some photos of his clutch when they were fledglings on our dad's computer which would help us figure out exactly how many years it's been since he hatched, but that's a hecklot of photos to look through to find them.)

His father, Carle, was a yellow recessive pied, so we can only assume that his mother, Ilacia (wonder at our very much younger self's naming creativity, mashing together 'Ice' and 'glacier') had a pied gene hidden under her visible genes, and that she was the main colour contributor for his body feathers (as he evidently did not inherit his father's yellow pigmentation.)(I wonder if there are any better photos of her in amongst our father's photo archive, it'd be fun to try any figure out what she was in terms of budgie breed)

To go through all of our birds from over the years would, to say the least, take us quite a while (there have been so many.)
