We have a family of 5 and currently have a cockatiel that doesn't do anything at all or say anything at all therefore we want a fun bird we have been reccomended these birds (Black Headed Caique and African Grey) which one would you say was the most suitable or if you have anymore reccomendations please note it thanks.

Currently, I own a male Timneh African Grey, he is attatched to my fiance and, typically isn't interested in me for more than the occassional kiss.. So, I'm concidering adding a second bird to the home and have a love for the Triton Sulfur Crested Cockatoos. I don't really have a preference for either male or female, but I don't know how the male Timneh would react to different sexes. I know with dogs its best to add a female to a home with a male dogs, simply for the alpha dominance stuff.. But I'm not certain with birds. The Timneh is 6 years old and somewhat skiddish, but seems to tolerate birds okay outside of the home. If I were to bring a female in, would he lean towards her as a mate, even if she's a different species? (I owned a male parakeet and a female cockatiel once and he chose her as a mate and became aggressive towards the rest of us) Or would he be more likely to be aggressive towards another male brought into the house? I'm looking to get a hand raised baby.
