If he gets on your finger, there's no way he can be THAT scared. A tiel that's that scared would NEVER get on a finger. You mentioned....................when anyone comes near. Don't go near him for a few days. Just let him walk around and explore while sitting at a distance. (Do NOT allow any of the dogs in the room at the time). Gradually go closer to him everyday, very slowly. He should not crash into walls. My friend's parakeet died like that. The only reason he crashed was because they were following him when he was scared. You need to keep him calm.
