Well, it is difficult to fully back-up, but it is fair to say that you have proven the point that removing the chick from the parents does not assure the chick will love you.

Some Basics:
It is never the fault of the Parrot!
It is always the fault of the Human!
Change your vantage point, and make changes to what you are doing!

Only good things happen when Humans are around!

One of the saving graces with most Parrots is that one can Start-Over, it just takes a bit longer...

So would you suggest I put it back with its siblings and parents ?

Much to consider regarding bringing the family together again. Three weeks is a long time in a chicks life. They may have a huge welcome back party or a who are you event.

Much will depend on the relationship you have with the other Parrots. And, what level of effort you are willing to put into the relationship with all of them.

At that age, I would have still had her in an aquarium tank with bedding and not a cage.

What’s your climate?

Why in an aquarium tank ?
And by climate you mean the weather temp. Outside ?
