How can i get my young cockatiel to love me?

Cockatiels come from the wilds of Africa, and, naturally, are not used to humans, they tend to be skittish around people, like most birds, and are difficult birds to try and socialise with. Sometimes it can take a year, sometimes two years, sometimes five years, before they start to warm up to you. They tend to like owners who don't run around wildly, or make scary shouting noises that the cockatiel doesn't like, it's been placed out of the African Rainforests into a new, scary environment that it doesn't like, the best method, is to keep it well fed, well watered, and to give it lots of gentle attention, also, to let it out regularly - make sure that, if it's cage is near a door leading to outside, don't open it while it is let out. Also, be aware that a cockatiel will not make haste before making faeces all around the room, so, you may also want to limit it's time out of the cage. Giving it lots of toys to play with is also a good idea, and, in a matter of years, eventually, you'll find that you're cockatiel has warmed to it's environment. When trying to hold it, it it backs away, and pecks at you viciously, don't worry, it's just a little afraid, it doesn't not like you. Wait for it to climb on the side of it's cage, before gently wrapping your hand around it, low down so as not to completely constrict it's wings, then, bring it close to you, and let it rest on your chest or your shoulder, do remember to keep your hand upon it, don't let it fly away, unless you're letting it out.
