Hi What clour is your cockatiel in Most case you can tell by the orange patches on there cheeks.Males have very bright orange patches, Females have duller patches.

To help him over come his fear every 15-20 mins place your hand in his cage and hold it there to get him used to your hands then you can slowly move your hand to his chest and if the trust is there he will eventually step onto you finger talk gently to him as your doing this and he will soon come to turns that you will not hurt him.
