I have a pair and a female. The female in my pair is skittish and aggressive but the male is laid back and calm. My single female is like the male in the pair, she is not much of a talker but very curious about anything I am doing. Unlike my lilac crown she is happy to hang out on their manzanita tree and destroy what every new toy is on it. My lilac won't stay put and wanders if I don't keep an eye on him. Based on my experience with these two females that were originally raised together personality depends on the bird. They do tend to call out more often then my lilac crown, particularly when the sun first comes up.
