You're right, there is no bird just called a 'parrot'. Parrot is the large group of birds that have hooked bills and two toes facing forward and two back on each foot.
There are King Parrots, Eclectus Parrots, Princess Parrots... but not just 'Parrot'.
That's like saying there is a bird just called 'finch'.

Not that I am aware of. Any bird with a hooked bill, is considered a parrot, even a Parakeet...
