I currently have two cockatiels. I got my first bird when I was 11 and I've only gone a couple of very brief periods since then without a pet bird. During my 22 bird owning years, I've had finches, parakeets, lovebirds, a conure, and my cockatiels.
I love birds. They don't smell (unless you really don't care for them), their mess is confined to a small area (unless they're free flight), they're very intelligent, they're beautiful, they sing for you, they're entertaining to watch...they're the perfect pets, IMO. The only bad thing about keeping birds is it's difficult to have a cat, too. I've had to give up on cats because I won't give up my birds.
