Answer
HI ANLI,
IT TAKES SLOW TAMING OF PATIENCE AND LOVE, DO ALOT OF TALKING TO IT, ENTER THE ROOM AND SAY ITS NAME ALWAYS.  IT MUST LEARN ITS NAME.  IT NEEDS TO HEAR YOUR VOICE ALOT DAILY.  STAND BY THE CAGE AND JUST TALK SING ANYTHING SO IT KNOWS YOUR VOICE FIRST REAL GOOD.
THEN U WILL JUST HAVE TO REACH IN THE CAGE AND GRAB IT UP, CUP YOUR HANDS AND TRY AND SCRATCH ITS HEAD WHILE U TALK TO IT FOR NOW IT KNOWS YOUR NAME WELL.  SOME TAME QUICKLY, SOME TAKES LONGER, NO SET TIME, JUST DAILY WORK, LOTS OF TALKING.  KEEP IT BY A WINDOW TO LOOK OUT.  PLAY A RADIO SO IT HEARS MUSIC ALOT, BURN A NIGHT LITE BUT COVER THE BIRD WITH A CLOTH AT NIGHT FOR PRIVACEY AND QUIET TIME.
DAILY TAKING IT OUT OF THE CAGE IN COUPLE WEEKS OF KNOWING YOU AND YOUR VOICE, IT WILL SOON GAIN TRUST AND FAITH IN YOU AND BECOME YOUR LOVED PET.  JUST BE PATIENT FOR IT TAKES WORK.

REGARDS
