And every bird is different, but most of the larger birds scream at certain times. There are a few exceptions, such as the Senegal. They are about the same size as a conure, but they are much quieter. In fact they seem to prefer to whistle and make beeping noises. Normally the larger birds scream at certain times during the day, such as morning and evenings.
Birds have powerful beaks.
The larger parrots have huge beaks, and love to chew. They must have plenty of toys and wooden perches to destroy. Otherwise they will chew on furniture, and other such things. If you have a problem with chewers buy a small bird that does not chew, such as a finch. Some birds like Lories and Toucans require special diets.
