My Senegal will look at you as if to ask do you need to get bitten, my parrotlet will bite the ???? out of you several times stop for a heartbeat and bite you some more just in case. My Amazon will not mess with my Senegal, she just screams and runs from her unless she thinks she can sneak up on her. My Amazon weighs half again as much as my Grey.
I have two 100 pound dogs that will say hi to my Grey, avoid my Senegal and run from my parrotlet. I have seven full grown cats that will not allow my Senegal to get near them, they will all scatter when she tries to land in the middle of them.
I am hoping that by putting in this way that I can help to create a picture in your mind about birds and aggression to help you see.

They are high strung and don't bond with other birds so, usually (there might be exceptions and that's why I say 'usually'), they rather by left to themselves and people than other birds. My grays live with other birds in the birdroom but they are not bonded to each other even though they've been living together for 8 or 9 years now - but they do tolerate the Jardine perching with either one of them, eating from the same plate, etc.
Be careful about having other people's birds for a visit with yours. This is something I would NEVER do.
