talk 2 yur parrot like u would to a human under regular bases everydaythey like that whether it looks like it or not. also 3 times a day or everytime you go to clean her cage, change water or food, empty handedly place your hand slowly flat open into the cage. slowly ease your hand closer pausing every once and a while. don't chase her with yur hand and don't attempt to touch or even come close for at least 3 days. after a while she will either come closer to u or allow you to pet her once this happens she will gain trust in you she will most likely let you feed her or let you take her out of the cage. if she was taken in from the wild this may not necessarily work but if she was rased in captivity well put it this way I have 2 and it worked on both of them. email me and let me know how it went
best of luck

if it isn't hand tame then it isn't a pet. I suspect you have bought an aviary reared or wild caught parrot because it was cheaper than a hand reared one. I doubt you will get it tame and less afraid of you. I do parrot rescue and have taken in many parrtos which people bought because they were cheap and adverttised as 'semi tame' . There is no such thing as semi tame. It's like saying you are semi pregnant. It's either tame or it isn't. I have 2 wild caught african greys here which came from people who wanted to buy cheap. After 4 years with me they are still not tame.

I have two African Gray's, it does take time for a parrot to get used to you, show that you are not scared of him, talk to him a lot and you will soon gain his trust, offer him the back of your hand with you fingers out straight, its a lot less intimidating for him, try offering food through the cage, when he feels that he can trust you he will eat from your hand, the noises he makes are like a growling sound almost like a dog, he does this because he thinks you are going to hurt him, good luck with him and i do hope that he is eating out of your hands soon, parrots are a very loving animal. Merry Christmas.

As the others have said, be patient and keep trying. Our little Green Cheek Conure was parent-raised and refuses food from our hands and our White-Eyed Conure is terrified of hands but won't turn down a treat even if the fingers are holding it. All birds are individuals and have personal preferences so it is possible he may never take food from your hand.

When hand feeding, offer your buddy's favorite treat. Withold it from the feeding bowls and only offer it to him when it is in your hands. If he wants it bad enough, he'll start taking it from your fingers. Be careful though, once he learns that it is safe to take food from your hands you may have him trying to get your treats too! :)

Takes time - try not to get everybody in your home to try - let the bird get to know you first. Start with something like a grape and be very calm, if you are scared of it coming close and jump youv blown it

Wash your hands and rinse well. Patience is the answer. Keep trying.

simple. don't let it have food any other way. but i would get a pair of thick leather gloves. those suckers can chomp down are damn near take off a finger when they are irritated with you. and that happens a lot. green ones are the meanest. grey ones are better.
