Parrots are wild animal. It takes a lot of time and patience to make the bird feel like you are their friend, but once you do it will be much easier to tame.
When you bring your parrot to his new home, keep him in his cage for at least one day. Should the bird appear skittish, just allow it some additional time to adjust.
You must cover all your mirrors and close all your windows when you think that your parrot is set to come out of his cage. The bird will probably come out shortly, but if it fails to come out then try to tempt it with some good food or a tree branch. You should try to keep your hair in safety: covered or out of his way. You should also wear appropriate clothes that will not be snagged so fast.
Don't ever speak in a loud voice to your parrots. Do not look straight into his eyes or he will think you are a predator.
If your parrot does not want to take food from your hands, then use clippings and put them in the cage. You should praise them whenever they eat so eventually, you can feed them using your own hand.
The parrot will have to fly once in a while to exercise its wings. If the bird is still frightened, you can use a low bird stand and two sticks of varying lengths to carry the bird around. Two sticks are needed so the parrot can go from one stick to the other. This must be done slowly but deliberately as sudden movements will frighten the parrot.
The first few weeks of taming a parrot are going to be challenging. Once you have made some improvements, you can now teach it certain commands like "step up". This will teach the bird that you are the master and if this is said, the parrot is aware that it must go to you especially when there is imminent danger so both of you can get out of harms way.
Another command they should learn is "no". Sometimes, the parrot may do something that you do not appreciate and by teaching this to the bird, they won't do it again.
Taming the bird will take time. Once you have surpassed that, you can teach it certain words or maybe even to sing and this can only happen once you have established trust with your feathered friend.
