Is a bird or a cat better for me?

I have owned two cats in the past, but we had to give them up due to a move. I know that’s a common excuse, but we moved by car, and they would not enjoy being stuck in a cat carrier for three weeks. I have taken care of two parrots for a month for my friend Andrea, who was in Hawaii for her sister’s wedding (they had to help with the prep), and once handled the Red Factor Canaries at a nearby bird store. Oh, and this store is a small, family-run business, so they do let you do this from time to time. That’s it for experience.

I wanted a canary, cockatiel, or possibly parakeet if I got a bird.

I wanted a Siamese or Tabby (Like we used to have), but only from a shelter.

I have the money for either, noise isn’t an issue, we have a good vet for either nearby, and we have considered smell a vague issue, but the cat’s litter box would be in the basement. It is warm enough down there, by the way. I’m confused, because either would work.
I can’t get both, idiot.

i think boss of them
