Hmmm. I am afraid that it doesn't quite work like that... ALL birds are photoperiodic [meaning they need to be kept at a strict solar schedule and a proper diet or they become overly-hormonal], it doesn't matter if they are small or large.
And don't think that senegals cannot be as or even more aggressive than an amazon because this is not true. I have taken in lots and lots of parrots of different species and many of them had aggression issues [it is one of the main reasons people give them up after a while] so I have dealt with attacking/biting birds from macaws all the way down to the smallest species and, by far, the most aggressive bird I've ever had was a male senegal. It took 3.5 years for that bird to stop attacking me every single chance he got, every single day... He is the ONLY bird I've ever had that made me dread going into the birdroom and the only bird I have actually feared.
