Thanks for reaching out about DT. Many parrots don't recognize humans as part of their flock but needs to learn to interact. Keeping movements slow and deliberate, offering treats via hand. Positive reinforcement for wanted conditioning. A book titled "A Guide to Well Behaved Parrots" is a good start, or other behavioral literature. Good luck.
