Wait now I see my bad, I thought you were double posting. Then I re-read both. But still you should keep it to one related post.

I'd recommend greenwings over scarlet's. Personality wise, scarlet's are the beakiest of the bunch, and they tend to have shorter tempers...

Greenwings are generally lovers... every once in awhile you get overbonding issues, or dominance issues, but those are usually related to not training the bird correctly.

Handling a greenwing is relatively easy. Getting one to STOP being handled is harder... they want to be with you, and be the center of attention at all times...
