Remember to quarantine for a month.
She might be escaped from someone, I'd put up flyers.

Disease, mites, lice etc. Moving can trigger these and its best to keep the birds completely seperate for atleast a month to make sure their healthy.
Seperate that bird into a garage or inside and wash your hands after handling. I'd also worm and treat for parasites.
