i am working on re-taming my budgie to earn her trust again and i have been writing down what happens with her for the past 2 days and here it is:

Day 1

came out of cage quietly
Bite 1x when adjusting string on swing. Didnt hurt
Chirped 2-3x while playing recording of other budgies. didnt chirp other times.
Flew away 8x
flew to milet 2x
bite 1x. when swing, didnt hurt.
touched belly, no bite, almost no avoiding.-2nd time, bite and avoid. 3rd time, no bite, almost no avoid. 4th, bite
chirped when reaching for toy
let me rub her belly, no bite, minimal avoiding.
bit 1x when tryng to open wing.
nibbled at spinach.

Day 2
came out of cage quietly
flew away 14x
chirping when put back on swing
bite 1x. when swinging her, didnt hurt.
chirped before flying to cage 1x
bite 4x

Your doing good.

Anticipate when she will bite and don't get into the situation.

How is she doing with her health issues?
