Double Thank you! 
LOL! That is quite the list. I knew there must be a huge list as I keep hearing more and more species I never heard of before. Thanks again. I will keep this list for a good reference. I think you named at least all the most popular and then some!
Thank you Kiwibird!

. This shop owner goes to the owner's home to groom all the birds regularly.
I don't visit, but I do love to hear about her. I hear through the shop owner who placed her on consignment. She promised she'd only go to the most appropriate home, and where she would this time 'pick' her new owner. She held to her promise

Well at least you get to hear about her through the grapevine. Sounds like the shop keeper is super nice and cares about the birds she has in her possession.
and as one might logically expect, begin to develop a different personality as a adult bird than when they were a juvenile (starting around 4-6 years old). They typically go through a several year period when they have very bad hormones, before calming down and only experiencing it annually (it's similar to a kid entering their teen years). Males do tend to get it worse than females. That isn't to say they make bad pets, because that is not true or fair. The hot 3 zons make WONDERFUL companions. It ALL depends on how the owner handles it when they hit puberty as they can be worked with, trained and handled safely. The 'horror' stories you hear about hot 3 zons are really more owner-caused issues than they are the birds.

She IS super nice. I can tell she is not just 100% about the money, because if she did business differently she could be making a lot more. At least half the store sometimes is birds to rehome. She is like part retail bird store, part rescue. Her heart is definitely in the right place, but the only thing that makes me worry about her practices is that when she took Terry in, she didn't place her in quarantine or anything. She just 'trusted' that Terry didn't have anything. I buy stuff there sometimes, and it makes me think 'ugh I better sanitize this...'
I agree with everyone else about which are the friendliest. The shelter has had two spectacle amazons that were friendly too. One had a huge personality and attitude but still was adopted by a kid and his family.
I'm partial to the hot 3 though...there was a joke at the shelter for a little while that I was going to take over the world with angry amazon minions. For some reason a lot of the yellow napes and blue fronts that came in for awhile were partial to me. Plus, I have my angry yellow nape Kelly...I'd probably only need him to take over the world
"Hot 3" amazons tend to experience a more dramatic puberty and more dramatic hormonal periods throughout their lives. They can become rather hot tempered
