Scarlet Macaw vs Blue and Gold Macaw. Which should I get?

I disagree with the person who said that you should never get a macaw if you haven't had big bird experience. My macaw Coby (the one in my pic) is the only bird that I have ever had and the only macaw that I have ever touched. Before I got him I read absolutely everything that I could find about macaws. What they eat, how to interact with them, what all of their physical and mental/emotional needs were, etc. I have had Coby for coming up on a year now and when I first got him (he was three) He didn't know how to step up and he would try to bite if you tried to touch him. He has come along way in the time that I've had him. He steps up and loves to be played with and petted. He's actually sitting on his little perch (he has several) beside me as I type this. My point in all this is that if you a willing to put in the time and effort (and to learn what their needs are and full fill their needs) it doesn't really matter what kind you get. It depends more on you than it does on the specific breed that you get. My Coby is a green wing macaw so, of course, I'm partial to the green wings. They are similar in coloring to the scarlet but the scarlet doesn't have the little red feathers in the white area around the eyes where the green wing does. The scarlet also has a yellow band on it's wing and the green winged has a green band above the blue. In all the stuff that I have read about macaws temperament wise the green wings typically have the most affectionate temperaments. They are called the gentle giants because they are also the biggest of the macaws except for the hyacinths. Anyway, this was just food for thought. If you are willing to put forth the effort any macaw can be a wonderful bird. :)
