The only birds that really got any special treatment were the Amethyst Starlings and any of the waxbills like Cordon Blues, Strawberries, Gold-breasts, Firefinches, and Orange-cheeks. Some of them like the Gouldians and Parrot finches were sometimes easy and sometimes hard. Stars and Owls could be obnoxious. Societies are also basically vermin. Nothing special there. Bourkes, and the other grasskeets and the Diamond Doves were also pretty easy. The Painted finches I did baby. I'm still sick about those. Shaft-tails weren't awful but they had a bad habit of big clutches and weaning too early.
