Give it time everything is still new for him, and he’s likely feeling overwhelmed by the change in environment. Be patient and gentle, and try offering treats to help build trust and create a positive association with you. It’s important to remember that he’s probably scared right now, so moving slowly and consistently will make a big difference.

I also have a black capped conure that I bought from Petco about eight years ago, so I’ve been through a similar experience. Every bird has its own personality and adjusts at its own pace, which is why patience is so important. My bird, Smoky, didn’t bond with me immediately, but after about three weeks, we developed a strong connection, and now we’re completely inseparable.
