I do 2.

Give you bird 30 minutes in cage to at least get a taste, but make the most comforting thing in its sight you. Think of it this way, if you handle the bird while it’s in an uncomfortable environment, you will become the most positive thing in its surroundings.

He's young so you're allowed to move quicker with adjustments than an older bird.

The bird's behavior will tell you what you can do. If he seems very nervous you should let him stay in the cage and get used to his new environment. If he's not so nervous you can talk to him and/or handle him for short periods of time, giving him lots of peaceful time in the cage between these sessions.

I agree with Tielfan..... if nervous leave him settle...
Plenty of rest... chat to him thro the bars...
Play it by ear.... however you think is best..
