how big is he?
And have you tried crickets or some other food?
And probably just getting use to his new cage your right.
I got a Avic, while ago, and first day I got her she 2 big crickets jumped right on the tongs to grab them, and she was fairly "kinda" thin so I offered her another day after and she ate. She just molted while ago, She refuses meal worms / super worms/ wax worms. Only like crickets I guess. But her reaction is the same she runs away from them like they are the spawn of satan

Wax worms are a nice treat but they don't have a lot of nutritional value
Crickets and roaches can be gut loaded prior to feeding which is nice
