You need to look locally & see what is available. If she is relatively new to birds I would start with a cockatiel or budgie. The larger you go, the more complex the bird, the harder they are to care for, the more behaviours they can have, so a larger one should only go to those who've experienced smaller ones recently & have done their homework on birds.
   
You cannot buy a 'friendly' bird of any kind. You as the human owner of the bird needs to train the bird & teach the bird to be friendly, happy & not bite. All parrots bite at some stage for a reason. If the bird were to turn out to be nasty then you need to look at the home & humans the bird is living with. Birds learn all behaviours from humans. Birds also do not bite or scream for no reason.

Thanks for your reply, we did have a African gray from a baby and was hand reared/ feed by my self but he turned out to be nasty for no reason and didn't know why as i don't work so had him out all the time but he was only nasty when you went near his cage to get him out but sadly we no longer have him as we found him dead in his cage with blood on him and we can only describe that he hurt him self and bleed to deaf, He was only just over a 1 yr old and that was about 5yrs ago.
