what bird is good for a beginner?

I'm sure this gets asked a lot - but what bird would you suggest getting as a beginner?

I am a 19 year old who currently lives in rural Australia, and I have no plans in moving anytime soon. I may potentially live in an apartment in the future, but it depends on future circumstances and prices and such. I work 6 hours a day for 2 days a week, 3 1/2 hours a day for one day a week, and 4 1/2 hours a day for one day a week (so 4 days, 20 hours total). The rest of my time is generally unspent and available to the bird. I do have the finances to care for one at this point in time, and I have savings if I get into a tight spot.

I'm more than prepared to dedicate decades of my life to a bird, to train it, care for it and provide a good and healthy life (i just need to learn!). Any suggestions is super appreciated - and any advice!

thank you 🥹
