Budgie vs. finch~please answer?

I want to get a bird to keep my cockatiel company while im at school during the day time, i was thinking of a couple of finches in the cage next to her, but i also want to be able to hold the bird i get...I don't want to have to give up time playing with the cockatiel by spending it with the new bird
Do you think i should get a budgie, or a couple of finches to live in the cage next to my cockatiel to keep her company
and ifi get a budgie, can their wings be clipped?
Answers:
u should definately get a budgie. they are way more calm and tame. i think finches are too wild and can't be held. budgies wings can be clipped, but be sure to ask the people at the petstore to show u how.
budgies are prettier for the most part. they can also learn to talk. and all finches do is fly around their cages. u will see what i mean when u go to the petstore and see the budgies calmly sitting and playing with their toys. the finches will most likely be flapping around like an insane creature
if u do get a budgie, be sure to get a young one. the young ones are easier to train to sit on your finger. the young budgies will have small stripes from the back of their head all they way to their beak
good luck!

Shelby - Shelby. You need to make a decision. You've gone from other cockatiels to conures to quakers and now budgies versus finches.
A budgie would be the better choice if you want a bird you can handle and the budgie might even be able to share a cage with the cockatiel eventually.
Finches are NOT birds to be held. They come in many beautiful color varieties and most of the males have great singing abilities but they should be left to fly around in a large flight cage, not a smaller cage since they don't have the climbing ability that parrot-type birds do. Being able to fly back and forth (horizontally), rather than up and down (vertically) is their main form of exercise. If you do choose to get finches you will need to purchase two and get a cage that is longer rather than taller.

A budgie would be better because you have a cockatiel and can go in the same cage together.
You can get the flight feathers cut. If you live near me in Exeter UK I will cut them for 拢2
If you go to a vet possible will cost you 拢10 or more
but if you get two finches they can't even go next to each other. They will attack the budgies and cockateils through the bars.
It will be ok if they were bought up together
I have a baby zebra finch and a baby cockatiel and i'm letting them see each other 3-4 time a day
