Answers:

Parakeets (Budgie) live a long time, they are small, and easy to care for. They are pretty easy to tame. I have had many, and some that I had were so tame, they would give me kisses and sit on my head all day. They can be very sweet once they are tamed. All you have to do is buy some millet (they love this) and offer it to them everyday. Eventually, they won't freak out when you put your hand in their cage. Then, over another week or so, try to position the millet so that the bird has to step on to your hand to eat it. Do this for another week or so, and eventuall you can pull the bird out of the cage while it is on your hand. There you have it, tamed parakeet!

A cockatiel or a dove

Great with kids.

You can get a cockatiel but get one that is already trained. there are also connors. Get a library book on small birds but dont get parakeets they are no fun at all. you cant play with them.

A canary. They're pretty and they sing too.

Budgee, colorful, medium sized. Good disposition.

Mimics whistles and some other sounds

Kids are not gentle enough for most birds. Get one to let them look but not to handle.

Ok, first thing - albino is a pigmentation, eg. an albino cockatiel. It is not a type of bird.
