training a feral bird?

is it at all possible to hand train a feral bird? or a bird that is several years old. Rocky has grown use to my daily interruptions of his otherwise sedate life such as cleaning his coup, changing food and water and even the saline irrigations I have to do to keep his wing healthy. However, the other day I tried to get him to eat a piece of food from my hand and he reacted violently. Did I do something wrong? Or is this just the way it's going to be.

Well, the answer is yes, it is possible ... but if you want help on 'how' could you say what kind of bird he is?
