It is unrealistic to expect a BF and a BG to interact. Its not safe nor are they anything alike. Amazons are known for being "perch potatos" whereas the macaws are the monkeys of the large bird world. They never keep still. I have 6 macaws: 4 BGs, 1 GW and 1 Severe. I also have a female YNA. My YNA wouldn't have anything to do with any of my macaws.
The other thing you need to consider is this: whereas macaws will generally go to anyone in the home, Amazons rarely do. They tend to pick one person and they will defend that relationship with great vigor. If you have delusions about everyone playing nicely and going to both you and your partner, its just not likely gonna happen that way. In the world of macaws, the BGs and GWs are considered to be among the more user friendly with everyone living in a household. I do admit to being partial to macaws but my Amazon is exceptional and a real joy. She's so easy to live with, requiring much fewer replacement toys and much less interaction. She is delighted when I come to her for skritches and smooches, but she doesn't require it like the macaws do to be happy.
And, if you do decide to get a zon, PLEASE be sure to get a DNA first. The males and females are entirely different. The males can be a real handful, sometimes going for months on end when no one can safely handle them. JMHO
