Birds are much more destructive than cats. And require much more cleaning than changing the litterbox. I'm afraid if that was too much, the bird(s) will be WAY too much work. They take patience and a laid back attitude towards mess and destruction and a lot of daily attention.
Amazons are MUCH bigger birds and some of the most challenging parrots to have. Not considered "starter birds" and not for most experienced bird owners either. Too much bird for me and I have 4 small and medium parrots. They can be very aggressive especially when hormonal.
Conures, especially sun conures, jendays and other aratingas are extremely loud and high pitched.
Cockatiels are relatively easy birds to keep but females are prone to excessive egg laying and egg binding. Any bird requires a large time commitment with a few hours of out of cage time daily, a lot of cleaning, fresh veggies and fruit daily, fresh water, a steady supply of destroyable toys, regular vet visits, a variety of perches.
