Maybe cover it with a towel to make it dark for him?

My uncle played some music that his african grey liked while they were doing there move, it was about 4 hours away from where he lived though, calmed it down a treat, and that bird is as highly strung as a piece of string on a very high thing.

Maybe talk a lot to it and give it treats?
