Not all lovebirds are loud.
Mine doesn't make a noise, until you go to take him out of his cage.
Then he'll start making these soft, adorable squeaky sounds, kind of like how a cat purrs when they're happy. It is not loud at all.
I know all birds are different, and have different personalities, but mine is very playful. He doesn't play with his toys, but he likes to play with me.
His flight feathers were trimmed right before i got him, but he still flies from his cage to me. Within a day he learned to fly to my hand. He loves snuggling, and playing peek-a-boo in my shirt.
And he doesn't bite at all.
When i was going to see him at the breeders house, she had a female lovebird that was cage aggressive, and i held her, she bit. Hard, but it didn't hurt at all. You just make her step up on your other hand, and repeat a few times and it redirected her attention.
I know i'm a bit biased because i have a wonderful lovie, and i've never had a budgie, but i think you should spend time with birds of both species, because as it was formerly said, every bird is different and wont fit what all the books say. Just find one that has a personality that fits with you.
(: good luck!
