Are there any birds you I can keep as pets that don't need it to be particularly warm?

I've wanted a bird of some sort for a long time. I'm not looking to get one right away, mostly because I know next to nothing about keeping birds other than pretty much every kind of bird I can think of needs to be kept pretty warm. Our house isn't very warm in the winter, quite often hovering in the 60-65 degree range and I'm pretty sure I don't want a bird bad enough to keep it warmer. Which is why I was wondering if there's any smallish birds one can keep as a pet that don't need it to be real warm.

Again, I'm not going to run out and buy a bird right now, I'm just looking for possible suggestions so I can do some more research on them.

Update:

Wow I just realized my question has some really bad grammar in there. Whoops. I blame the rhinovirus taking residence in my head.

    No really bad grammar I could spot (and believe me, I'm a stickler!)

    Buy a male budgerigar. Only the males talk, and only if kept alone - and isn't that horrible?

    All through my childhood we had budgies, who talked, chattered lovingly in our ears, and were the most brilliant, loving companions.

    My grandfather used to breed them, and taught me how to train them.

    I miss them still.

    i'm a twelve 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous, and that i've got parrots at domicile greater then 4. Yeah, a lovebird isn't something for novices, yet once you place your suggestions to it it could artwork out. Plus love birds are fairly unswerving. I even have budgies and cockatiels, they're like part of the family individuals! And a lovebird will do the comparable on yours. additionally, having a small poultry is likewise relaxing, they take a seat with me for the duration of supper time on the table, and that they sing beutifly all day long. yet once you have had a canines, then you definately will do a stable interest of looking after a poultry. the way I have been given my birds is that I caught one that had escaped from somebody else, then my dad enable me get a companion for her, then a buddy gave me a cockatel then I breed the budgies and stored some. however the way maximum little ones do, and maximum say that this variety is extremely useful, is to make a slide teach. Plus small birds are straightforward to safeguard, and if your mum and dad are nervous with regard to the mess, like mines have been, purchase a cage internet, it fairly is discovered at maximum puppy shops, and what it does is it catches each and every of the seed husks, feathers and regardless of different debris would be in there. desire this facilitates. i understand the way it feels to be in this variety of predicament.

    Pigeons are a option. And believe it or not they make great pets. I have two of them and they are sweet and lovable and sound cute when coo. The lowest temp you should go with a bird is 68 degrees. And that is a little cool for most especially the small birds.
