Don’t like linnies = fat budgies Plus they are way overpriced imo

Definitely don’t want Eckies too noisy for my area.

Fig parrots !?

Would be worried that it is too cold in winter where I am and also more specialised feeding requirements.

How about Senegals, Meyers Jardines etc.. Although some of these can be considered loud and the price is getting a little up there

Parrott finches sounds like the go, reasonably priced, tough, only partialy insectiverous, neither very common or very rare, quiet.

I think who ever picks the right parrot should win a prize.

Need more clues as to what you need/want.

I think you've ruled out all the quiet ones unless you can find some night parrots.

Are Indian Ringnecks too generic?

You could always specialise in certain colours.
