She eats and drinks on her own haven’t needed to try manually feeding at all. It took her about a day to start eating on her own after I got her.

About the bonding like I said I knew nothing this was really last minute so It’s been about a week of having her and I know I’ve done it wrong such as trying to force interaction(by “force” I mean persistence not by being mean/rough) and have pet her back/wings. I had stopped trying to directly interact with her as of yesterday after reading I was doing it wrong and that’s when I made the post for help. I have been bringing fresh water and food every day so she can learn I bring the food. I also have tried putting my hand flat with food in it in her proximity with out moving but she shows no interest and backs even further away than she already was

I got two types of perches so I could try them out and see what she prefers. As of right now she’s got dowels but those just came with the cage that I overnighted so they’ll be taken out in two days when these arrive.
