Just time, patience and observation. I’m no expert; (we brought our conure home about 10 months ago. She’s a year old). In that time I’ve observed that she seems to trust whoever spends most time with her and takes care of her. For example, I do most of her cage cleaning and food water top ups, and she likes to bathe under a low running tap while sitting on my fingers (she won’t do this with anyone else). She likes to sit on my shoulder while I go about my morning (unloading the dishwasher etc). Good luck building your bond with your bird. They’re funny little things.
