I think so. She's at the very least comfortable which is already a very good sign?

How hard is she biting? Biting does not always mean they dislike you

I think she likes you or at least doesn't dislike you. Parrots bite even when they like you. It sounds like she's not too used to you though? And she's curious and nippy.

It's hatebird, it just hates some people less than others

Everything you describe is what my Lovebird did with strangers he didn't hate. This reads to me like "I am gonna land on your shoulder and you'll like it" behaviour. He would never bite me. They know what they are doing. They can choose a person that does not get bit. But you are not there yet.

She’s curious at least which is great now hand feed or pass treats, start keeping your hand near her while she eats when she takes off leave her unless u need to move her birds appreciate space and like mine tend to check in every 2-10 mins, once chill with that make a circle with you fingers and present a treat on other side she will stick her head through and then you can go for scratches etc you want to present only good experiences around you then you become they’re everything it’s pretty kool
