I just got a male SI eclectus and he’s a shoulder rusher. I just gently use my thumb to trap his toes on my hand. I don’t want my bird on my shoulder until I am completely aware of his body language. So what I’m thinking for you is just every time she climbs to your head remove her and put her where you want her then praise and reward when she is where she is supposed to be. She may need to be kept away from your shoulder for a time, until she learns boundaries.
