Whether you can leave a bird alone during the day does depend on the bird. My lovebird actually got upset when I worked from home; apparently, I interfered with his afternoon nap. He'd start squawking pointedly at me around 1 and wouldn't stop until I left the room, whereupon he would tuck his beak into his back and sleep for three or four hours. The conure I have now likes to have me around during the day, but is fine if I'm not, as long as she gets a few hours of company and attention.

Yeah, they definitely have their little bird routines that you have to figure out and accommodate. Mine both squawk their heads off around lunch, then they watch cartoons and take a nap. Sometimes they want to be out on the bird stands near me, other times they want to be in their bedroom alone. We have a routine down at this point, and they REALLY don't like when it's disrupted.
