Birds with the lowest dander

Question
Just wondering what the list would be of birds with the lowest dander? I have searched the internet to no avail. I find the high dander birds easily.  Thank you for your help.

Answer
Very low or 'no' dander birds that I deal with in my rescue and consults are 1. Toucans.  They don't talk and they require a very specialized diet along with a lot of regular interaction, but there is virtually no dander from them.

2. Eclectus.  Beautiful birds, no matter which species and they all have the capability of speech; although no one should ever get a bird for their conversation.  Birds, no matter what, make great listeners!

3.  A dead heat here between Parakeets and Pionus.  If this is a first bird for the family, parakeet (aka: Budgie) for sure!
