They are called love birds because they love each other, they bite like crazy otherwise!!! Cockatiels are a good choice, but almost all birds bite. DO NOT GET LOVEBIRDS!

If you want a bird that you can handle, I'd suggest only having one and provide it with toys to entertain itself (providing that someone takes it out for some bonding time on a regular basis). Two birds will tend to bond to one another and most likely won't want to have anything to do with you. But If you only want to watch the birds, then having a pair is nice as they would have companionship. Also, (just as a suggestion) instead of buying one from a pet store, if you're in a more populated area, there are many birds that are hand tame already that need a good home that can be found in local papers and rescue organizations...sometimes for free or at a discounted price including cages/accessories...
