Friend: the first message is: please underline you’re the required portions. Some time it is difficult to make head or tail.
Chatter is a collective noun and subject in this case and is singular and therefore ‘sounds’ is the right verb. Otherwise, we will be simply musing whether sound is a verb or noun.
The actual choice is for those who may be interested.

(A)was two kinds of birds: one was a helicopter, waiting perhaps to whisk a moneyed client to Perth, and swooping around it was flocks of noisy little green parrots called 28s, supposedly because their chatter sounds --- the verb ‘was’ is a glaring SV number error
(B)were two kinds of birds: one was a helicopter, waiting perhaps to whisk a moneyed client to Perth, and swooping around them were flocks of noisy little green parrots called 28s, supposedly because their chatter sounds --- them has to refer to the helicopter; a wrong pronoun number agreement
(C)were two kinds of birds: one was a helicopter, waiting perhaps to whisk a moneyed client to Perth, and swooping around it were flocks of noisy little green parrots called 28s, supposedly because their chatter sound--- their chatter ‘siound’ is wrong SV number agreement
(D)were two kinds of birds: one was a helicopter, waiting perhaps to whisk a moneyed client to Perth, and swooping around it were flocks of noisy little green parrots called 28s, supposedly because their chatter sounds—Correct choice. No Subject- verb number or Subject - pronoun number agreement errors.
(E)were two kinds of birds: one was a helicopter, waiting perhaps to whisk a moneyed client to Perth, and swooping around it were flocks of noisy little green parrots called 28s, supposedly because its chatter sounds – flocks/ parrots and its – wrong subject pronoun number agreement
