I have a male 7 month old Parrotlet that I got when he was 8 weeks. The breeder never taught him to step up and for some reason he gets scared and will fly if you move your hand by him to try to pick him up or if you have one finger out like you're going to make him step up. The only way I can make him go on my hand is if I trick him really. I'll put my hand flat on the bed, palm down, and wiggle my fingers because he doesn't like that and will run over to bite them, but then I stop right before he gets to my fingers and he'll immediately calm down and then usually will come stand on my fingers, which I then lift up supppperrr slowly otherwise he'll fly. I usually just grab him and once I actually have him in my hand he's perfectly fine. If I can't catch him I'll just sit on my bed and wait for him to come fly over and land on my head. He is comfortable riding around on my head or in my hair, and I can usually grab him pretty easily from there.
I'd really really like to teach him to step up and to be comfortable with hands coming towards him, is it possible even though he's already 7 months old?
