Hello and welcome, firstly I have moved your thread to Training and Bonding as this is more appropriate for your question. I also took out the word Help from your title. I will PM you in regards this.
As far as your little hen goes she has had a lot of stress in her short time with you by the sounds of things. Three weeks is still a relatively short amount of time to settle in, plus she had a friend who she became bonded to by the sounds. How old is Pina is she going through a moult, is she in condition as her friend was trying to mate with her? The stress of her friend going will make her become agitated and pace, worrying where he is. Did she come from a large aviary where she was with other budgies, can she hear the budgies in your father's aviary?
You also mentioned she escaped several times and had to be caught by yourself. All of these actions will definitely cause her to be wary and not relaxed.
Can you place Piglet in another cage so she can and does still have a friend to relate to? They could be supervised for free flight time and play.
I will attach some links for you to read through.
I feel you need to simply let her become happy in her environment , and learn her cage is her safe place. Cover her cage on three sides and sit near the cage and simply talk to her. Then when she is coming to the bars and listening to you move on .
All budgies are different in personality and the way they will interact especially hens, they have hormonal issues to contend with as well as being the new bird.
