Some birds are just drawn to certain people, we never know why. It's often the one that shows them the least attention too!Could she just not like me automatically since I made her stay in a bumpy car for 6 hours and then shoved her into a new situation so I'll have to work harder? Or do you think this is just how she is right now?
I'd say you're doing fine, don't force yourself on her, go slow and easy.
IMO the best way is finding something she likes that comes from you.
whether it's treats, fun, scritching, or just a nice chat.
Your Dad may also fill a need in her, altogether different than the relationship you forge.
I oftentimes find that asking VS demanding, gets me better results from Chaos (my GW).
He likes making the choice to do what I ask. If he refuses, I just walk away and try again later, or leave it be.
I also find sitting on the floor doing something he finds fascinating and will always venture down.
Have any toys to make? Do it on the floor (or a table) near her and see if he is interested.
Engaging her interest is good. Making her connect is not.
Allow her to make the choice to engage with you.
