Help me with my first bird ever!

So I first asked r/birds for help and got kinda bullied so I came here. I got my first lovebird approximately 4 days ago and I need help training him and learning about him. How do I get him to love me?? Some videos on YouTube said to remove the food bowl from his cage for hours and only put seed on your palm so he comes eat, tried it and it worked but he won't let me touch him. I invited him to eat from my hand out of his cafe today and he flew around my room for 30 minutes till he flew back into his cage for food that I had put there again for him to come down form the top of my closet. He just keeps climbing all around the cage, some people did it's a bit small but I want to get him a bigger one once he's trained and all.

Any help would be appreciated like what kind of bird is he?? Is he really male? Maybe his age? Reddit isn't allowing me to attach photos but I'll try to describe him

(He has a red beak, orange face, yellow body thats slightly green in the sun)

I need help with my first ever bird!

Hello so I got a bird today from a shop, he has bright yellow feather with a orange head and a bit of red, his beak is also red, the man in the shop said that it's a make bird so I bought him a cage, food, toy and something like chalk to rub its beak on or something, it's My first time ever getting a bird so I want him to be okay and i don't wamt to do anything wrong due to my lack of knowledge.

I need any tips on how to get him to love me, how to tame him, do they just poo in the air and is there a way to train him?? I'd like to know if anyone can tell me if he's actually male and maybe his age too?? Or things I should know about his exact kind? Is the cage okay? I have 3 house cats but om not sure if they'll hurt him so can anyone help please?

His name is monty by the way :D
