Yes, little birds poop more often than big birds.There are several reasons.
The smaller the bird, the faster the metabolism
Smaller birds have have faster transit time though the intestines
Little birds have a smaller 'holding tank'.
From my personal experience, the answer to your question is yes. As fmorales mentioned within their answer, the smaller the bird the faster the food gets digested. I have also read and know for a fact that a budgie will usually poop every 15 mins and while an amazon can poop around 30-45 minutes. I have taken care of a Red Lored Amazon Parrot and multiple budgies(american Parakeet) within my life.
