You cant just chuck in 4 Oscars and expect everything to be fine, you
have too many fish in there too soon.

It would depend on the size of these Oscars.

You also can just chuck in 4 Oscars because they will kill each other
when they get bigger, you can only keep 1 on its own or a mated pair
(or 9 in a 600 gal tank).

I've had much better luck that than keeping Oscars together.
Occasionally I get one which is intolerant, but I can generally keep a
small group of them together for a good part of their lives. I don't
feed live foods (makes them too agressive) and when they get too
rambuncious, I might turn the temperature down a degree or 2.

You would know all this if you did any research on how to keep Oscars
properly.

Also the Parrot is a hybrid fish and is very delicate so wont live
through the cycle.

Mixing a Parrot with Oscars is an obvious problem in regards to keeping
everyone fed. I've never observed any special susceptibilities with the
Parrots in regards to water parameters though. Perhaps others can share
their observations.
