New budgie won't move in cage. How to help it adjust and bond with me?

Question

I've bought a Budgie called Buddy today and have put it in its cage. Now it is just frozen at the bottom of the cage and will not move. I'm worried I've petrified it and it will never become hand tame and it won't bond with me! Any advice!? Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male

Give Buddy some time! It takes awhile for birds to get used to new surroundings. Make sure he has many perches, toys, and fresh food and water available, and try to leave him alone for a few days to adjust to his new environment.
