Thank you for your advice Birdbabe, my thoughts precisely. Elvis continues to hide under the bush, he comes out to eat when I call him. I'm happy to say his mother bird comes to visit him and sometimes stays with him under the bush. He's eating well , crickets and meal worms, I'm hoping these will help him grow his tail feathers quick. What an amazing creature. I want him to be free and live a normal life. Do you know how long does it take for tail feathers to grow?
