Cage territorialism battles

Ok, I have a new diagnosis for Cleo: SEVERE case of cage territorialism.She'll stepup on my hand most everywhere now except her cage and the manzanita tree stand. These are home "homes". I have had a rough past two days getting her on my hand from either place as she has seemed to have gotten worse than she was. At first, when I had some success with hand stepups, she'd let me get her off her cage pretty easily SOMETIMES. .Not all the time, but everynow and then. Now, she either runs from my hand or downright attacks it. Same thing for the tree in the living room. All the other time, she's a dollbird. One time today, she even flew to my arm. What's odd is that she'll let me hold a hand perch in my hand, she'll stepup onto it and then immediatly standing in the same place, transfer her to my hand and she's cool.It's my hand approaching the "home" apparantly is what is sending her over the edge. The same hand she loves to lay her green head in.So, I guess I'll just work with it this way for awhile and keep a hand perch by each "home". My right index finger and wrist is reallly sore with a few smart punctures on it. It's hard to know what to do cause when she first let me start getting her on my hand good, she'd grumble a little, beak a little then stepup. So, that "beaking" a little today all of a sudden went to a downright bite....when I was expecting a beak..This is also the place where you don't know what to do. If you continue allowing her to stepup only on the perch on her cage/tree you are "conditioning" her to that and she'll never get used to a hand. On the other hand, if you push her too hard with a hand, you have sore fingers like I do tonite AND you risk busting the trust you've worked so hard to get.Different trainers will tell you different things. Some will say FORCE her on your hand a couple of times and she'll get over it. Get a bandaid.Others say gradually step her into it and she'll do better.This is where the extra star is coming in for me.
