Is he a wild caught bird or was he handfed? Sounds like he hasnt had much interaction with humans so its going to take time, effort, and a lot of patience and love. You need to dhow him that you are worthy of trust. Trust building may take time but it will pay off! If you search tips for taming your bird/parrot or re-taming a bird, along with building trust with a new bird with the search function here lots of useful threads will come up, or on google as well, but there are plenty of very good threads on here related to taming a bird thats not used to being handled. It may take a good amount of time for him to start trusting you; dont try to force anything and scare him, you dont want him to associate yourself with bad experiences in this fragile process. Also, you can come a long way through earning trust and training but theres a good chance he wont ever be a very hands on bird.. that doesnt mean you cant have a great bond with him he just may not be a touchy bird. Use info you find while searching threads here for taming and you will start making progress [search is on the blue bar near the top or also the home page].
