As above, totally normal, young corns tend to be flighty. She will calm down as she gets older and gets used to you :)

Be confident and calm, give her a chance to climb through your sleeves etc, shel' ll get used to your smell.

it is normal, just keep the handling sessions short and regular for the time being and they will become to recognize that you are not a threat and then they will tolerate you.

just a matter of time.im having I similer problem,but mine doesn't flinch.when you put your other hand near her do it from underneath so she doesn't feel so threatened.
