Welcome to the forum and I am so sorry your baby parrot died but, my dear, unless you had a necropsy done and it revealed that the cause of death was not a contagious disease or anything that could have been prevented, I suggest you wait a bit and do a thorough disinfection of the entire house.
Also, I would HIGHLY recommend you adopt an adult instead of buying a baby because, in truth, raising a baby parrot is not something that can be done correctly without experience and, if the baby was not pooping, it was because it was not eating.... I am not blaming or criticizing you, I am just pointing out that this was a very easy symptom to spot but it was, apparently, missed and the baby was not taken to the vet. Did you even have an avian vet for it?
Adults are easier in more ways than one. For one thing, they survived infancy (most pet parrots died before they are 2 years old), their immune system is already fully developed AND what you see is what you get in terms of personality -a big plus for people who have no experience handling a parrot, which is NOT an easy thing to do.
