Advice?

[lonelyassassin]

I've had my 9 year old senegal for 4 months now, and I'm her fourth home. She's getting much more comfortable with me in her cage, to the point where she loves it if I put my whole upper body into the cage with her and give her kisses and attention as long as I keep my hands out of the cage. Unfortunately, I can't stand beside her cage all day and she's gotten to the point that she wants attention a lot of the time. She's still very hand-shy and won't come out of her cage. Does anyone have any advice for helping her get over her fear of hands and/or get her to come out of her cage willingly? Using a stick to take her out doesn't work either, she's scared of them as well. I would love to give her the attention she wants and deserves, but standing beside her cage the entire time I'm home just isn't possible. I've tried showing her how harmless and even good hands can be by scratching my cockatiel and having him practice step-ups in front of her. She watches intently, but stays by the back of the cage while she watches.

Any advice at all will be greatly appreciated by both me and Maeby.
