Yup, my grandma's cockatiel is exactly like that. He's a super sweet boy, but a visitor might think he's mean. Yet he will take millet from my hand and seems to perk up when I'm near him, but also runs away from an empty hand and will try to bite if you push his boundaries. You can tell he's kind of afraid of hands. After babysitting him for a while I'm sure my grandma will be able to earn his trust and he will probably be able to step up at some point (right now it's almost impossible to get him back into his cage once he's taken out, because although he takes millet in the cage he won't step up for it and he doesn't go back to his cage on his own, either (despite food, water and toys). I can imagine even less my grandma being able to put him back in on her own.
