if you had the choice between sitting in a cage or wandering around the house which would you choose?
i assume she is coming out because you are leaving the cage door open.... close it and only open it when you are happy for her to come out. when you are not at home or cannot supervise her she should be caged.

its important she eats regularly thru the day so unless she is on a stand with food available make a poiint of returning her to her cage several times daily and shutting the door at least until she has eaten, as a young bird this will become routine for her .
each time you put her back vary the time she stays in there so she doesnt see you putting her in the cage as being the end of her free time.

I agree with Ali. Be happy though, she wants to come out! A certain amount of trust is there, to be adventurous.
     I believe a new baby, or rescue bird that comes out on their own, is a serious milestone! Make it special! Tour the house, play a game. They are saying... I trust you!  Return your bird to the cage after spending funtime. Make sure you open the cage again, within a few hours. Do it again!
     Never ignore what our birds are telling you. They teach us. NOT vice versa. Once the trust is there, we set the limits. You can't set " limits", without trust.
     It is hard to understand what to do, with so many different opinions. You need to follow your " instinct", like so many of us have had to do.  Nancy
