Please do not apologize there is nothing wrong with wanting to build your relationship. I was told plenty of times that my TAG would never cuddle and never hang upside down or lay on his back for us. Well guess what at 7 months now he will hang up side with no problem and loves to be cuddled and held even when he gets his nails clipped they found out he his much calmer if he his held close right before. It takes time and working with them slowly. They need to be able to trust you fully and with a bird that is not going to happen quickly like it would with a dog. Just like when training your dog it is consistency that is key but just remember to go at their pace.
