It is very normal for parrots to be timid, or even somewhat aggressive when they are new to a home. Remember, parrots are prey animals, and it's instinctual for them to be cautious of anything they perceive as a threat (which right now is you). The good news is time will ease the initial fears he's having, and within a few weeks he will begin to trust you more and start forming a bond with you. It is very important you start now with non-contact trust building activities to gain his trust before you can start contact training (aka getting him to step on your hand, petting, ect...). You can start engaging him by talking to him softly, offering treats when he makes a pleasant noise, and handing him little toys through the bars. You're already on the right track by integrating him into your daily routine and just spending time around him. Parrots are also flock animals. The more time you and your family spend around him, the faster he will realize he is being accepted into your "flock" and warm up to you. For right now, just focus on helping the little guy get used to his new home. Be diligent with his schedule (waking/sleeping), interact with him by talking, build trust by giving treats, and be sure he's getting a healthy diet for his species (many "unexplained" behavioral problems can be caused by poor diet). Bonding with him will be a long and sometimes difficult process, and it will likely be a year or 2 before he fully trusts you. Just keep on working with him. This is really a great forum with a lot of knowledgeable people, so keep us updated and ask for help when you need it. Parrots are truly amazing animals and companions, you just have to put in the effort to help them become one. Best of luck!
