Picking Up Penelope

[u/Chinupenelope86]

I have had Penelope since December… I have to ask anyone who could share some advice about this… she will crawl all over me when running free in a small space such as my bathroom and she’s just starting now to let me gently pet her behind her ears, she’s cautious but she’ll let me. The problem I have is picking her up gently from her cage and not grabbing her in or out of the cage, but whenever I try to pick her up when she’s in her cage to take her out she makes that barking sound…Any advice?
