The short answer is yes, your bird can not become infected by this strain of coronavirus and so you can also not get the virus from your birds. To date, that appears to be true for dogs and cats as well, as they too are not susceptible to COVID-19.
This helpful document from the University of California at Davis is the most clear and authoritative source we have found regarding these questions.
Note there are 39 known strains of coronaviruses, and COVID-19 is just one of those strains.
Naturally, and as always when providing a healthy home for companion birds, it remains important to take sensible and reasonable steps toward the hygiene of your birds’ environment and your home environment – providing a clean, safe, and healthy environment for all captive birds.

At this time, there is no evidence that animals play a significant role in spreading the virus that causes COVID-19. Based on the limited information available to date, the risk of animals spreading COVID-19 to people is considered to be low. More studies are needed to understand if and how different animals could be affected by COVID-19.
