OK, I also have both-and they are both 20 yrs old. Neither is particularly noisy but Shrek, the quaker, demands my attention more, is cuddly and is cage possessive with other people but not me. I can do whatever I want to him. He will step up for other people once he is out of his cage-and can see me. When I go away, he stays in his cage. Fiona, my Maroon bellied Conure, is more of a social butterfly and will step up for anyone and is friendly with everyone. She really is a smart bird and runs rings around all the others-also thinks she is the boss of the flock-and none of the others want to challenge her. At this point, I couldn't choose but remember they both live to be about 35 yrs so it's a big commitment.
