Funny you ask that. I can't really pick one species as being more of those things than another. Like out of my Parrotlets, Mojo is my sweetest. Out of the Red Rumps, Ollie is the most affectionate and laid back...and out of the Linnie's Suki steps up the easiest but Yaki and Tofu go out of their way to get my attention. Each of my birds even in the same species are so very different that I can't say that personality wise my "Parrotlets are like this" or my "Red Rumps are like that". The closest I can get is to tell you that the Parrotlets are the most hyper, active and self-entertaining. The Red Rumps act the most like "outside" birds but both love being petted and scritched. And the Linnie's are the most laid back, mostly happy just hanging upside down from the top of their cage or eating. They're also the quietest.
I love Wasabi but hadn't planned on getting another Parrotlet until Mojo came along. Ollie is so easy that getting another Red Rump wasn't a hard decision; I could have a whole flock of them. And I think one can never have too many Linnie's either.

So I don't have a favorite "breed" but I can most definitely say that I'm a "small bird" person.
