Welcome.
You seem to be doing good already. Don't be too complacent
about interacting with your flyer. They need to know soon
that they can trust you. If you let them take their time
they may not get around to bonding. You already found that
waking them suddenly is not appreciated. lol Pet her, or
touch her, as much as possible to get her used to that.
Try to get her to sit on your hand to get treats. Give
small treats that can be eaten quick so she don't want to
take them elsewhere to eat them.
