Patti, as long as you have the slats on the sill and the inside sides of the window, why don't you attach some perches there? If you put, say, three of them going side to side at different heights, she should be able to land on them instead of hitting the window. Captive-bred birds would very often have bad sight (due to the practice of breeders to take them out of the dark nests before their vision has fully developed -for which they need darkness) so their distance perception is flawed and this, combined with the clipped primaries (these are the feathers that rotate so they can land, take off, bank, etc in flight) makes it real hard for birds to maneuver correctly but if you give them something they can easily see from a distance, they do much better.
