A tame parrot should not attempt to bite or be overly skittish when you approach it and should be willing to step onto a finger or hand. If your new bird is afraid of you, don't despair. Even a tamed bird can backslide, especially around strangers. Don't attempt to make friends right away; let your bird watch the comings and goings of its new household for a couple of days.
