Crowing
If a parrot free flies in your house, it will destroy everything it can, because that's what parrots do for fun. It will also harass any other pets you have, seemingly for no reason other than fun, and will potentially do the same to houseguests. Plus there's the escape risk. If you're willing to outfit an entire room with toys and a bird-safe jungle gym and dedicate multiple hours a day to enrichment and interaction, plus the time you'll spend getting and preparing proper food for a parrot (not just pellets! they need fresh food), replacing toys, and cleaning up, then maybe you'll do well with a rescue parrot. Otherwise, get something else.
Even lovebirds and parakeets are parrots! They're small parrots and aren't quite as intelligent, so are slightly easier to keep, but the vast majority still don't get the proper care. Plus, even small birds live 20-30 years.
If you absolutely want a fancy bird, try a pheasant in an outdoor pen. If you want a singing indoor bird, go for finches, but not in one of those tiny cages. Nice-sized flight cage all the way. If you want a friendly, intelligent indoor bird, go with pigeons.
