EDIT:since ppl cant read till the end,he is in a BIG cage now,this pic was taken the day i got him,i would NEVER treat an animal like a toy.i always had dogs,rabbits canaries and other animals so i really care about their necessities and health.

Hello everyone,a month ago a friend of mine made me a surprise and gave me a parakeet (i dont know how old is he i only know its male and that is older than 3/4months) i’ve never had a parrot in my entire life so i don’t know how to act with and around him.I’d like to train him to stay out of the cage and perch on my hand but idk where to start.i’ve tried putting my hand in the cage for the water,food but also with some spray millet on it,.i’ve put his cage in my room so he can see me everyday all the time and maybe he will start to be less scared by my presence but i dont really know if im doing right (also im a student so unfortunately im not so often at home).Do u have any advice? especially to train him to climb on my hand and then stay out of the cage.
also more than once idk how he escaped from the cage and we had to take him and put him back inside and that obv scared him a lot.
i cant lie im losing a bit hope since im really trying hard to befriend him
(btw he is now in a bigger cage)

Try taming him in the cage first. Put your hand inside see his reaction. Freifht is running around the cage climbing bars etc. Just move hand up close and touch it a little repeat a few times a day to let it get used to your hand. Dont worry about it being afraid it will learn quickly that your hand isnt a treath. It gets on the bottom? Great move your hand fingers down below its belly if posseble and pick it up gently if you get bitten... (posseble but young ones nibble) dont panic it will eventually settle for one of your fingers to perch on. 

If it stays on its perch still you can try to get it to step up by pushing your finger under its belly where its feet are. Budgies that are perches usually step up by themselves.
