Question
Well peaches my bird was at my grandmas and my cousin grabbed her and hurt her wing she kept on flapping it but she is fine physically but umm... she wont let anyone holf her know how do I get her to trust people again?

Answer
Hi, Becky.

Could her wing still be hurt?  It can sometimes take a couple weeks for a wing injury to heal (or longer if there is injury you aren't aware of).  The length of time it takes for the bird to trust people again just depends on the individual bird and how frightened the bird is of humans.  Just don't do anything to make matters worse,  keep trying, and be patient.
