Having an on-the-go family can be hard on a new bird in the
house. She really needs the time with everyone. You need to
set aside time very day for everyone to sit down with her and
talk to her, teach her games and show her she is one of the
family.

Times have changed, and your common family is always on the
roll. Try it in tamdem- everyone should have some part in
this. At least a half hour a day talking to her, and if you
have family dinners, bring her cage into the same room with
your family, well within sight of everyone. This way, she can
see her whole "flock", and maybe feel more of a part of it.
