Oh boy, I always need to rant about parrots.
You want a bird? Great! Don’t get a parrot! Think instead of getting something that doesn’t need the insane social environment and 60+ years from you. Get a pigeon, dove, finch, canary, maybe even a starling. They don’t scream, they can’t break your finger, and can be just as cuddly. They aren’t endangered, they do well with a pal, but don’t self-mutilate at the drop of a pin. They still need plenty of time and care, but certain pigeon species have been domesticated, meaning they do better in captivity. PARROTS ARE TAME, NOT DOMESTICATED.
If your mind is so set on a parrot you need to do so much more work to get there. Go volunteer at a parrot rescue, they are different animals as adults than babies. Oh boy are they cute when they are little, they are when they are big as well, but they are also hormonal and will bite. Hard. Go get to know a parrot at a rescue and if you have the means to provide a stable environment for it the rest of it’s life, then consider adopting. No more baby parrots are needed in the pet trade, they change as they mature and will go through fazes of sexual frustration as they lash out because that’s all they can do. If you can come to terms with parrot behavior and deal with getting bit every once and a while look into adopting a cutie.
If you refuse to get a rescue, at least don’t get a large parrot baby. Cockatiels, conures, budgies, and parrotlets are comparatively better. They live 30 years most which means most times they won’t outlive you. They can be nippy, but they are not quite as socially complex. Cockatiels are an especially easy bird to read and understand the body signals of. I’m not saying these birds are easy, they still need plenty of time spent with them every day, especially if you want them to be hand tame. Unlike dogs and cats who are able to seek you out for cuddles and just live in your house, birds often get forgotten about in their cages. Their diet needs to be a pellet diet supplemented with fruits and veggies and perhaps some seeds sometimes as a treat.
EDIT: Small little thing I remembered, domesticated chickens are fabulously great pets, even for an indoor environment. They can be wonderfully affectionate and come in many tiny, almost pocket sized varieties +egg a day if you’re lucky. Look up Seramas, Frizzles, Silkies, and Polish, they are all very unique looking and typically friendly species. During the day keep them in a little caged area, but get some chicken diapers (they exist and are becoming more common) and you can let them roam your house poop free.
