2/ Always remove him from his cage very carefully and speak slow in a soft tone, just remember his probably afraid so be patient with him.
3/ Do not have anyone else in the room just yourself as this will distract him. Parrots are all very different, some may take a little longer than others but that is perfectly normal.
4/ Training parrots requires a lot of patience and try to be considerate other wise the lessons will not go the way it is suppose to.
5/ Training parrots takes a lot of work most parrot can relate to actions rather then words so give him a lot of affection by patting or kissing him, that is if he allows you to do so.
6/ Your parrot will eventually sit on your hand when he starts to trust you a lot more,when he does introduce him to your shoulder or lap and play with him from there.
