Were you told how old he is? All birds are afraid of hands early on, and some never get over that fear. Does he eat and drink and have any treats with no problem?
I suggest playing some music on a CD and or radio, softly, and also sit by his cage, talk softly to him. Does he make any chirps, whistles or sounds?
Try feeding him some millets for treats. You can hang a sprig in the cage, and break one up in small pieces and put it in a separate seed cup. Also, try reaching your hand with the millet toward him, and see if he will eat some millet off the top of the sprig. That will help him to get used to your hand.
Some birds do not care much to be out of cage. Consider getting him a play gym. You can find them in the petshop. They can be set on a table in the room where you frequent and moved from room to room. He might really like to play on one. You can put treats on the bottom tray, and even hang some toys on it.
