A caique flock call is loud enough to make your head hurt. Especially when it is done a few time in a row (often in the evening). They are simply happy you're home and want to let you know. I would NOT call a caique an apartment bird, by any stretch. Amazing, loveable, wonderful little clowns, but not an apartment bird.
With my current situation, I don't share walls with any residences, but I do have upstairs neighbors. My next move will either be in a few years, with plenty of time to plan for bird-friendly residences, or to my boyfriend's house, which is a house.
I wouldn't move into a place that wouldn't let me keep my bird. A dorm is a BIG maybe, because I love living by myself. If I had to choose between a dorm and a bird, I'd choose the bird, of course.
The woman I'm talking to is asking for $450 for her young caique, but the bird store owner was asking $1400 for his. He seemed like he cared a lot about the birds, but also has to make money, especially since his store was on a main strip of West Hollywood. I've been to 4 different bird stores, and he seemed the best.
I don't intend to leave it alone most of the day. When I leave for an 8 hour shift at work, I usually end up coming home at least 2-3 times for an hour or so at a time, and that's without a feathery friend to keep me company.
It sounds like the guy at the store was trying to steer you towards the most expensive parrot of the three. A pi, gcc or tiel sound like better fits for you, and what do you know! They're way less expensive.

Also, a good way to handle rusty cages is to have them sandblasted and painted that way, but that may be out of your price range.
