Shivering is unfortunately a general sign and not an indication of anything specific. It could be that your bird is cold or nervous, and moving her to a warmer, quieter location may help reduce stress and help her regulate her temperature. If she has other symptoms in addition to shivering, such as not wanting to eat or drink, changes in stool, sleeping all the time, etc, then this can indicate illness and should be checked out by a vet in person if she doesn't improve after a day or so.
