Ahhhh.  That is a problem.  Perhaps she will do it for praise and a head 
scratch.  If so, lucky you.  Think of all the money you will save on 
sunflower seeds!  The hardest part of training a bird to do what you want is 
to motivate them.  Maybe in time the praise and head scratch will work...or 
maybe she will develop a passion for a certain food. You may not ever be able 
to train her to fly to you, but over time, you will discover little things 
she does on her own and then give a signal or word every time she does it and 
reward her with food or praise.  It is never too late to start training.  I 
started training my BFA Pepper when he was around 7 years old.  He now does 
about 50 tricks.   Joanie Doss The Amazing Amazons
