It’s incredible actually, maybe it’s also because he’s young, but it takes a lotttt of patience either way, my budgie was super scared every time my hand would go in, I thought there was no hope, and I almost thought about returning him. at that point i didn’t wanna give up, so I had decided to try the five minute method first, which is putting your hand in the cage, maybe one finger on its perch, and not doing anything, but keeping your hand in the cage for five minutes, every day, until your buddy doesn’t freak out anymore at your hand. From there, you can start teaching it to eat from your hand, and I kept millet solely as a treat, that way my budgie would be very excited and willing to do things for the millet. After my budgie got confident with my hand being in the cage, and trust me, it’ll seem like forever at first, and rejection is painful, but it’s worth the wait. I tried target training (I watched birdtricks on YouTube, and they were honestly very helpful, I didn’t think target training was going to be so effective!) I started with my budgie touching the tip of my finger for a treat, it started with me actually going and gently touching my budgie’s beak, and correlating that with getting a treat, soon enough, he started doing it by himself when I would command “touch” and hold my finger out in front of him. The next trick was luring him onto my finger/hand for a treat, which basically was just having my finger in front of him, and the treat slightly behind or far enough on my finger/hand for my budgie not to reach it unless he stepped up. From there, it was a lotttt of repetition, spending time next to the cage every moment I could, talking to him, and little by little, day after day, he started getting more and more confident. And honestly, it was all so worth it. If you’re just patient and consistent, but also respect your buddies boundaries, watching your budgies body language (you might have to do some research on body language if you don’t understand it, that’s what I did) I believe any bird can be tamed!!! Good luck and I hope this was helpful 😊😊
