3 month old IRN lunging at hands

It is a very strange situation, I started feeding him millet because it gave us some distance however I have recently started feeding him seeds and other small food items and he takes them from me without any trouble, my fingers have even touched his beak a number of times. He will even tollerate my hands when I have a clicker in them and press it right next to him.

The problem is whenever I put my hand near him without anything in it he will lunge in it's direction with his mouth open, this happens regardless of whether I have a closed fist or not.

He seems to be fine with my face being near him so I'm not sure what the problem is.

When I first got him he would fly into a panic when I put my hand near him, then he transitioned to moving away from my hand but now he seems more aggressive.

The only thing I can think of is that he was afraid of me before but now he isn't.

EDIT: I say 3 month without realising i've already had him about 2 weeks now so it's actually 3 and a half months old if that matters.
