An Amazon definitely wouldn't be suitable in your house then! They have big voices and they love to use them. Mine is getting quite the vocabulary and loves to talk non-stop, whether its english or jibberish
. I've heard that some of the smaller Amazon species are quieter than the Yellow Crowned (which I have) but I've never heard of one being described as quiet.

My Amazon is very sweet with me. But he's just like you said about this Blue Fronted, "She can be the devil incarnate when she dislikes someone"! I've found that they are beautiful, curious, intelligent (usually too smart), loud, playful, and full of attitude. Mine is very jealous of my husband but will allow others to handle him and he will even step up for other people if he's on me, but my husband is only allowed to deliver him to me. Having an Amazon really adds some spice to your life! They're definitly not for everybody, but I wouldn't live without one.
A lady I know has a Blue Fronted. He's well mannered towards her but will bite her daughter. He loves to play and scream and absolutely loves to watch TV. He has a large vocabulary and even learned how to sing off of that 'Don't Forget the Lyrics' show. They'll actually leave him out of his cage when they leave the house, they just leave the tv on and he will sit on his perch and watch it the whole time they're gone! He's fully flighted and doesn't get into trouble when he's left out, he just wants to talk to the tv. He's mischevious and will fly with toys and 'bomb' my friend with the toys. And he loves to feed her dogs.
