You know, like cockatoos, parrots, parakeets, cockatiels, canaries, certain types of finches, etc.
I dunno, it just seems pointless to me to have a bird, ?cuz they don?t understand affection (cats and dogs do).
When you own a hand tamed bird, and train it to step up on to your finger and what-not, they actually can become very affectionate. The problem is that most pet stores don?t sell hand tame birds, and since this is where most people get their pet birds (as apposed to breeders where the birds will be hand tame) most people end up with birds that are not tame. It takes a lot of patience to tame a bird that was not hand raised, so many people get frustrated and give up.
I have a parakeet who loves to sit on my husband?s knee and watch him play video games. She loves to spend time with him and take treats from his hand.
My cockatiel likes to sit on my knee. She will bow her head down for scratches and will then hop up on to my shoulder and return the favor by "cleaning" my hair. She is very snuggly. She is perfectly happy sitting on the couch with my husband and I watching TV and moving between the two if us giving each of us a turn to snuggle and pet her.
Birds do understand and appreciate affection. They are one of the most demand pets to own because they need attention. Did you know people have compared owning a cockatoo to having a two year old because of the amount of attention they require? They really all have great personalities, the way they interact really just depends on how they were raised.
that parakeet your dad had mustnt of gotten the attention it needed, so it was more the owners fault. birds do understand affection, infact, most parrots, pigeons and crows/ravens are smarter emotionally and mentally than alot of cats and almost the equivilant of dogs. they are loyal andare always delighted to see you.they make great company for everyone, for children who love animals, teenagers, adults, and theyre good for elderly people because they dont require too much attention. by the way, cockatoos, cockatiels, and parakeets are parrots. and canaries are finches.
Birds do feel affection. Sometimes they don?t show it because they?ve been neglected or have not been properly trained and/or cared for and played with (It?s really hard to train parakeets). We had two budgies once, an older girl and a young boy. The older girl taught the younger boy (Keats) everything, and when she got a stroke and died a few days later, the younger boy got incredibly quiet and ate at a minimum. 
its a wrong concept that birds do not respond to affection. And there is simply no specific time to take up a bird as a pet. The thing that matters is how good you can take care of it. Birds take a considerable time to learn and grow affection towards the owner. Visit your nearest aviary for further details on the specific bird you want to pet. 
Most of the larger birds certainly do understand affection and will often cry out for their owner to give them attention (and many times it works). I?ve known of birds to actually grieve (won?t eat, won?t talk, won?t play) over the loss of a loved one.
I have over 30 birds and i just love them they will sit on the wire next to me and just chirp and stuff there just so cute and i breed them which allows me to make profits from them
BIRDS ARE AWESOME!!!!! I don?t even own a bird yet but i am getting one. My aunty told me that some people put parrots in thier will. If I had a thousand dollars I would deffenetly get a parrot!!!
