Default Parrot people, need your thoughts!

So I may be totally nuts but I'm hoping to start working again in a few months despite my pain issues, I just can't stand being dependent anymore!!!

So I'm thinking of saving up my money and getting another parrot, right now I have a Senegal. I've had plenty of experience with parrots, I used to hand raise them for a specialty mom and pop pet shop... God I miss that place it was one of a kind. But I've dealt with everything from little parrotlets all the way up to macaws.

It's been my dream to own a scarlet macaw but I don't know if I'm ready to commit to such a large loud bird and frankly their beaks do make me a tad nervous.

My ideal bird would be a cuddler, my Senegal is pretty independent and only likes to be petted on the head so I'm looking for something a bit more... Needy? I know Cockatoo right lol but they make me nervous with their tendency to go nuts and the sheer levels of loudness.

Right now I'm thinking Goffins cockatoo, African grey.... Would you have any other suggestions or know a good forum where I can ask this?

Sorry if that was a bit rambly.
