if you just got the parrot, let it get used to you. i recently got two parakeets and they didn’t want to come out of anything at first, but they let us touch them. Maybe try having him get on your hand and let you take him out of his cage, he might just need some time to be comfortable. if you recently got him, something might have happened to him before you and he could still be scared that something will ahppen to him again…

Just keep on trying to touch his back or what ever. Dont force it or you will frighten him. Hand feed him tidbits and let him know you arent scary. We got an african grey in february and he’d never been handled. Now my dad (but no-one else) can tickle him and stroke his tummy and back. Just keep trying and you’ll get there.
