I need to know what kind of parrot you have. When you say it normally stays outside, do you mean out of it's cage but still in the house, or all the way outside, as in the yard? If so, is there an outside aviary or cage? Is your bird ever exposed to outside birds in any way? What do you feed her? Do you know how old she is? This extra information and anything you can add will help me to give you my best advice. Thanks, Patricia

she is a lime green parrot not a parokeet but a small parrot. she is about two yrs old, and lives in a cage outside on a stqand in the yard, but we cover her a night and she only interacts w birds through her cage if even that. she eats seed made for parrots and every now and then fruit. she can say a few words and phrase picked up on her own. the only time seh could have diretly interacted w birds is when she flew away when we took her out of her cage to clean it. but we found her a lil. later.
