Or you could get her used to wearing a harness. There are a few
different kinds out there that have leashes attached. If she
will wear them. Some birds won't. Also, are you sure you want to
have her on your shoulder? Most vets and breeders I know do not
recommend it. I don't let any of my birds on my shoulder because
you have less control that way.
