Sorry tinks, it sucks that the bird has changed so much on your DD! Is it just your DD that gets this reaction from him? If so I'd say there's a chance she's scared him, and maybe should leave him be for a bit while he settles in more.

I had a few budgies when I was a kid, and even if the shop person said they were hand reared they took ages to settle in. I'd go a week or two without opening the cage except for food and water just so they could get used to the new environment. Once they were ok with that I'd leave my hand in longer and longer and talk to them. It took a while, but eventually they could be taken out of the cage on my hand.

My brother didn't do so well, as he'd jump and yelp when it touched him so he'd scare the bird away. Good luck, I hope he's behaving well soon!
