Well if you have to change 72 gallons of water a week just becuase of nitrates, isn't that kind of a waste?

No, you are guilty not the parrot. You introduced the two, you are responsible.

I think water changes are kind of wastefull and most people will say only water changes will take away nitrates(which is kind of dumb cuase changing the water will take everything away) but plants and a full nitrogen cycle is the easiest way to maintain nitrate levels. Low light= less growth...

You can also put a crawfish or shrimp to get rid of the snails too, though, crays will eat thte plants too, though, the cray will most likely eat all the snails before doing serious damage to the plants. In a couple of days, a juvie cray has single handed eliminated a serious infestation of...
