I'm not going to echo what has already been said, everyone that has answered you already has been very responsible and accurate in their replies. However, as a pet bird owner/breeder for over 30 years, and a current Senegal Parrot owner, I wouldn't be doing the responsible thing for any bird that you might get in the near future if I didn't say what is on my mind.
First, yes you do seem very responsible for your age and I'm impressed that you're doing your research BEFORE you go out and buy a bird. Unfortunately a lot of people, in fact most people that come onto the forum who have a fairly new bird that is having behavioral problems and showing extreme aggressiveness, do no research at all before getting a parrot. So I commend you for that. Now the question that you have to ask yourself is are you going to really think about the answers, opinions, and the advice you've been given by several very experienced bird owners and lovers, and do what is best not for yourself (really it's not what is best for yourself either, rather just what you WANT at the moment) but rather do what is best for the living creature you're thinking about bringing into your life.
I'm not really concerned about your level of responsibility as far as getting a bird medical care from a certified avian vet if it needed it, or feeding a bird a proper, high quality, healthy, fresh diet and not just a cheaper seed mix diet, etc. You do seem like a a very thoughtful, responsible young man in these respects. I am however worried that the area where you lack responsibility and are still very immature is in being able to read what you wrote to us about the amount of time you currently have to spend and interact with a bird, your current living arrangements and where your bird will be kept, etc. and realize that right now is not at all a good time in your life for you to become the sole caretaker of a parrot. Not because of who you are or because you wouldn't love your bird greatly, and not because you wouldn't want your bird to be happy, healthy, and have the best of everything, but because your life right now does not allow you to provide anywhere close to even the minimum amount of time with or interaction with a parrot that is needed. And when I say "that is needed" I mean the minimum amount of time spent with and interaction with that is needed to keep any parrot happy, healthy, entertained, free of boredom, and most importantly and what you really need to consider, to keep any parrot from developing behavioral and emotional issues, aggression, and manifested physical health problems like plucking.
I certainly am not at all in any way trying to be rude or disrespectful to you, and I can honestly say from the bottom of my heart that I truly believe you will one day make a wonderful parrot owner, but one day in the future, when your schedule allows more than an hour or two a day to spend and interact with your bird, when your bird can be allowed out of it's cage for longer than an hour or two a day, one day when your living arrangements allow for your bird to very happily have his cage located in the "main room" of your home where even if he's licked in his cage he will constantly have people walking back and forth past him, talking to him, simply put one day when your bird will be able to be properly socialized by people. While turning a TV or radio on for your bird during the day when you're gone is a wonderful idea, it is not in any way a substitute for having his cage out in the main room of the home. This is a topic that has been brought up a lot here recently, and the bottom line is that even when a bird is locked inside their cage, if that cage is located in a room where they can see and hear people walking around them interacting with each other, hearing all the noises and sounds that go on every day, having people simply sitting on a couch or at a table near them, even if they aren't directly interacting with that bird, the bird benefits so much from this socialization. If you were to get a bird now, put his cage in your bedroom, and leave him alone in that room with the TV or radio on for most of the day, the problem is that he is going to hear EVERYTHING that is going on out in your house. He will hear every word that is said, every sound that is made, everything. But he won't be able to see it. So he will start screaming. And this will continue on and on and on. Where as if his cage is amongst the talking and the people and the sounds, he will be able to see it, he won't feel left out, and he will not scream but rather be happy that he is a part of life in the house, and he will play with his toys and be able to entertain himself...To a point of course. Locking him inside a cage and then the cage in a room away from the action in the house is not healthy and will only cause future issues. But this is the least of the problems..
I'm sure that you can understand that allowing a parrot to be out of its cage for only 1-2 hours a day is not at all good for any bird, except maybe a finch or a canary. Let alone actually only getting to spend 1-2 hours with his sole companion. It's just not what is best for a parrot. As already said, 3-4 hours a day out of their cage time with it's people is a bare minimum to keep a bird happy, healthy, and socialized. Most of the birds that you see in rescues that self-mutilate by feather plucking or much worse do so because they spent most of their lives locked inside a cage for hours on end. You have to realize that parrots have the intelligence of a 2-3 year old child, some macaws, cockatoos, and African Grays a 4-5 year old child. They need constant stimulation, entertainment, and they really do form strong bonds and relationships with their people. And when they don't get enough attention from their people or interaction with their people, they become frustrated, depressed, and angry. These emotional problems manifest themselves in the form of aggression towards people, self-harming, and eventually they become cage-bound and totally unsocialized. So unless a person can devote at least, at the very minimum, 3-4+ hours every single day of one on one interaction with their birds outside of the cage, it just isn't good for the bird.
I bred cockatiels and English budgies for over 20 years, and have owned different types of birds since I was 6 years old. I'm now 37 years old and I currently share my life with a male 6 month old Senegal Parrot, a male 1 year and 2 month old green cheek conure, a male 11 month old Quaker parrot, a female 7 month old cockatiel, and 7 eight month old budgies...Not to mention 2 dogs and a bearded dragon. Some are animals that I rescued, some are animals I just fell in love with. I am single, I have no spouse and no kids, I own my own home (no worries about neighbors calling the cops because there are no quiet birds at all, lol), and I work 6 days a week. But I still manage to spend 3 hours EVERY MORNING with my birds before work, and all evening, EVERY EVENING from 6:00 until bedtime...Then all weekend as well. I made the decision a long time ago what was important to me, and I could tell that it was the right decision because on past Friday or Saturday nights when I would be out with friends, on a date, playing a gig with my band, drinking too much, etc. I missed my family that was at home waiting for me. I used to work over 60 hours a week, I did that for a long time and I made a lot of money. But I had to sacrifice having pets because it just wasn't fair to only give them a couple of hours a day for 6 days a week out of 7. I made the decision what was important to me, I sacrificed the income and the constant partying, the constant gigs and being on the road with my band, and I chose my animals. But I'm 37. You're 22 and you haven't even begun to live your life. There is no quiet bird, green cheek conures are supposed to be the "quiet" conure, well I've had 2 of them and there is no way I could be in an apartment with them. And I spend a good 4 hours a day with my Senegal Parrot, as he's young and it's very important to socialize Senegals as much as you can on a daily basis, they are extremely possessive birds that get very aggressively jealous of their person if you don't make a point to expose them to as many people as you can every day. 1-2 hours a day out of cage time/interaction time is no where near enough for a Senegal or any other poicephalus species.
Please just think about the big picture and do what is responsible for the bird rather than what you want to do in the moment, because the end result of your decision could be one that you deeply regret.
