How to get my bird over his fear of new places?

Hey, so I just got my lovely new bird.
I know it will take time so get him settled in. but so far he will steup up on me and comes outa his cage.

However if I try to walk into the kitchen he freaks out. The kitchen has tile flooring instead of carpet so I think it looms funny to him. It is in complete view of his cage tho (2 ft away)

He also will not go onto his play stand. Help?

Just keep being kind and gentle, and don't force it on him. Sooner or later, this bird will decide that the kitchen is his personal playground!
