Time and patience. Xander was terrified when i first got him especially of hands and he taught himself to fly very quickly.

For me it took alot of hand feeding and patience to build trust and get him used to my hands and i would train him to step up with a perch at first. You have to make all your interactions positive and reward with praise and build the trust taking baby steps. For me anyway.

What is your Caique like around your other birds? X

Well my caique has only been around two boned conures and that did not end well. The conures did not like her and I would not say she was bad around them, i would tell her to stop and she did.
