That is a lot of questions, but Tari has given you a lot of good answers too, it sounds like you have given this a lot of thought and personally I would go with the grey, smaller bird and such. Of course I am biased when it comes to the grey, my favorite, but people with less desirable circumstances have given a good home to a grey. I think you would be happy with either the grey or the macaw but only you can make that decision. Keep us informed as to what you are going to do.
