mithoo is my name

Welcome to the forum.

I have moved your post with questions into your own thread.

Lovely bird.  There is one thing I would change and that is to get him on a more varied diet.  He needs more than just corn and peanuts.  My Chyloe has pellets, Nutriberries, Avi-cakes, almonds, walnuts, various beans, peas, carrots, corn, broccoli and one grape every day.  She also has yogurt, other fruits and a taste of our food from time to time.

To get him more comfortable with you, sit near his cage and talk to him.  Leave the cage door open while you are around.  He will come out when he is ready.  Also, be sure to provide him with things to play with.  You can make your own toys or give him paper and cardboard rolls to play with.

From his photo, he does look around 1 year old.  As babies, the entire eye looks black or navy blue.  Around one year, the iris is light grey.  That eventually turns light yellow.

Keep us posted on your progress.

Hey there
Welcome to the extended family here.
As Haz says, variety in the diet is excellent, though i imagine that you will share my challenges in getting things like nutriberries & avicakes. I live in Cape Town, as a by the way.
What does work well with these guys, which we here in africa have in abundance, is fresh fruit of all sorts, with the only exception being Avocado Pear (this is poisonous to our birds). You will also find that if you offer things off your own plate when you eat (for example morning toast or cereal at breakfast, and a sampling of you veggies, starches & meats at dinner time) your little one may well eat a variety more quickly and might even bond with you a bit sooner too.
As far as his "fear" my tip is to take it nice and slow with your little one. Spend time just sitting with him and either reading from a book out loud, or just chatting with him. Its all to do with trust, and until he can trust that you won't scare or harm him, he's going to keep resisting your efforts at bonding. Thus, you need to slow down and let him make baby steps in his progress towards trusting you.
I'd be a bit careful of putting your baby out onto a porch while you're not at home. A very close friend of mine did the same thing and came home from work one day to find her parrot dead from bee stings. If your porch is enclosed with some kind of fly screen / mesh, it should be good to go, but if its open, there is a real risk from our african killer bees.
What i do, is i have my boys cage right by a window so he can look out all day long and chat with the birds on the trees outdoors. When i am home, i do encourage him to join me outdoors. I must just add that i am extremely lucky in that i do not ever close my boy into his cage. He has free run of my entire home as, over the years since he's joined me, i've worked out how to almost entirely parrot proof my valuables. I am not saying this for you little one yet, as you need the trust bond first, but this is something you might try aim towards for your little one.
Please feel free and ask all the questions you need to. The only dumb question is the one you don't ask!
We love hearing the stories of our feathered family members, so please feel free and tell us his quirks & habits too!
