Question
Hi Chrys
Thank you so much for responding so quickly.  To answer some of your questions.
Yes I do work outside the house 9 to 6 but I leave the radio on.  I don't let him out of the cage but he has escaped a few times.  
His cage is pretty big for one bird.
His diet consist of seeds, millet.  I've tried putting lettuce, celery, carrots, parsley, broccoli but doesn't seem interested.  
Also in his cage he has bells, balls, rings and a ladder with natural wood branches for perches.  
I use to have a keet Chippy that was so much fun to be with.  When I washed the dishes he would fly over & I would adjust the temp and I would hold him under the water and he just loved it.  I would like to have Jack to be that comfortable with me and be that happy.

Thanks again
Cathy

Hi again, Cathy.

While you're gone during the day, I'd recommend letting your keet sit by the window.  When you come home in the evening, move his cage to the other location, and open it up and let him come out on his own.  I do recommend you clip or have his flight feathers clipped...if you don't do this, he'll continue to be wild and you'll not be able to work with him.  Leave his cage door open when you're home and let him come out on his own for a week or so (with clipped wing feathers) and just go about your business.  Interact/talk with him as much as possible, but don't force him.  He'll need time to get used to having his wing feathers clipped, etc.  Try to position his cage so that while you're watching TV in the evening or doing whatever it is you might do in the evening, he can be next to you.  Hopefully, he'll get curious while getting more used to you.  A bird has to trust you before you can do much of anyting with it.  I remember my daughter was eating a piece of corn on the cob one evening while sitting on the couch, and a parakeet she had jumped down from his cage and sat on the end of the cob eating the corn with her!  It was so cute and he wasn't very tame, but after this incident, she was able to work with him easier.  He trusted her more.  

Millet is good, but seed isn't good.  Seed has little to no nutritional value, so perhaps diet could be part of the problem.  Also, birds won't eat anything they don't recognize as being food.  Therefore, you just have to keep offering other types of food until the bird eventually tries it.  They have to be sure this something they don't recognize isn't going to hurt them, etc., before they will attempt to try it.  Every day, offer your keet some type of nutritional food in order to switch him over.  Take the seed out of the cage when offering the other food.  Put the seed back in after a couple hours.  Do this every day.  My keets love corn bread, whole grain breads/muffins, cooked brown rice with peas, shredded carrots, shredded zucchini, small amount of corn all mixed in.  Every day, I mix different types of frozen veggies in with the cooked brown rice, and they love it.  You can make a batch, freeze it in ice cube trays (store in freezer in a baggy), and just unthaw 1 cube every day.  

Your keet would love a swing.  It's best to have perhaps 3 sets of different toys available and rotate them out about once a month.  Birds get bored with the same things all the time.  You might also want to place tree limbs sideways and vertically for variation with perches.  You might think about leaving a TV on in the room with him when you're gone.  A radio is good, but with some birds, a TV works better for company...or rotate with the radio and TV.    

This bird could be like Chippy, but you need to clip his wings during his training period, build trust with him, and go at his speed (don't be in a rush).  When he does what you want him to do, reward him with his favorite treat immediately.  Never reward negative behavior...completely ignore negative behavior.  

Did I give you my website address?  There's lots of information about parrots in general:
