It sounds as Foogy is probably suffering from an infection that is causing the sneezing and the abnormal droppings. if that continues for more than a couple days i recommend taking her to an avian vet ASAP in order to get it checked and treated. regarding the hands, the more you will try to touch her and not show fear when she bites, the more she will tolerate it.
