Question for bird owners ??

Anna 🥀🌙 • {24}SAHW 💍❤️ TTC our Rainbow 🌈👼🏻✨ PCOS 💙

For many years I’ve wanted a bird specifically a parakeet , since all the research I have done states they are the best beginner bird. Recently I took a trip to my local pet shop it just recently opened and they mainly focus on birds. I was looking at the parakeets and talking to the store employee and he suggested that I get 2 love birds instead of 1 or 2 parakeets . He told me they are a better beginner bird and I would be much happier with me than if I got a parakeet. I haven’t done any research on love birds so I didn’t wanna make a spontaneous buy and just go off what the guy said I needed cause I don’t know if he was just trying to make a better sale or what. Do any of y’all own or have owned love birds and or parakeets I’m working on doing so research but I want some personal opinions on if love birds would really be the better choice or not ? Any advice appreciated 💗 and if you have some favorite sites for bird stuff and info please attach links cause I’m just going off of google right now 👍
