No they aren't the same as a macaw, but at the same time they should not be slighted when it comes to time, care and feeding. Whether you have a budgie or a macaw - the dedication should be the same.
With any bird - you will have to look at what that bird needs to have a quality and happy life. Research on all the birds until you find the one for you is essential. When you narrow down the list then you do even more specific research. Things like: greys require a little more calcium in their diet as do I think Ekkies? Not sure about that for Ekkies, but they do have specific things to know about their diets. Lories are specialized feeders and cannot digest seed - they require nectar and are very susceptible to getting hemachromatosis.
I think you get the idea.
Anyway, keep asking those questions.
