some birds are just territorial around their cages. they percieve it as their territory and want to defend it. maybe try getting your 'zon to step onto a dowel or stick will help you get it out of the cage. sorry I don't have any idea how to get it to stop though...
just a question- when you take her out do you take her into another room away from he cage?

Sounds like she may be very scared & feeling insecure & threatened in her new environment since you've had her for only a number of days.
Is her cage situated so there is a wall on at least 1 side of the cage? That will make her feel a little more secure. You might also want to try covering 3 sides of her cage until she's feeling a little more secure & relaxed in your home. removing a bit of the covering gradually over time.
Good luck !
