It sounds like you are in a hurry and she is on grey time, sit back and let her lead the way. I know you want the best for her but she is not quite ready for all you want to do. Just Relax.

OK.  I'm done here.  Please delete this topic and remove me from this forum.

Not sure what set off the "I'm outta here post" but I'd still like to know what your vet prescribed as I am looking for alternatives to Haliperidol.   I looked back a few messages to see if I could find what triggered you.  Not sure.   If you think you'll find a more welcoming group elsewhere have at it.   This is a very well-meaning tame forum.  You'll be leaving them all if you can't handle this one with 0-5% of the traffic of the others.

 Haliperidol is very very bad, it must be with-drawn very slowly..

Once a parrot learns that it's own pain relieving brain chemicals also relieves anxiety, the parrot becomes addicted to self-mutilation. Boredom is one of the emotional causes of parrot biting feet. Safe aids such as  Avicalm, Herbal Relaxation Formula or simply brewing up some Chamomile Tea. The irritation caused by the infections is one of the main reasons why parrots excessively bite their feet as a reaction to the irritation. Other causes include diets low in Vitamin A & E, excessive use of grooming perches, lack of exercise, and exposure to cigarette smoke.
