At this point in time patience is your best friend. Your bird will come out in its own time, but first it needs to feel secure. It doesn't know you yet and certainly has no reason to trust you. Give the bird time to adjust to you and its surroundings and above all do not attempt to force the issue. It will come together all in good time.
I have a 14 yr. old female amazon who after being here for about 2 months is only now beginning to come out of her cage and then only for a couple of minutes at any given time. She was not well treated and as a result is totally psychotic ( not a bird for a beginner such as I am ), but she is making progress and in time will heal, it just takes longer for birds that have been mistreated.
