Answer
Hi Ethan, it sounds like your little beauty still needs to adjust to hands. It also sounds like it needs to have a wing clipping.  Once a bird is fledged and has the confidence of knowing they can fly, a clipping so that they don't get any distance or lift is important. It means that they can gently glide to the ground if necessary, but they can't fly away (if they ever get outside) and they're more dependent on you inside.
 Always have the wing clipping professionally done to begin with and learn from them. Maintaining it yourself after this first time is pretty easy.
