If you keep her indoors and consider her your pet, I should say do not tame, but build a realtionship with her, it takes more time and patience but at the end she will trust you in place of just doing what you want because she is starving, do not put her in any kind of extreme situation.

If she never could fly before it would be a bit dangerosu to let her fly free too soon outside let her to get used to her place and let her see the area where she lives. Try to find a pigeon mix in a bird shop in your area, some pictures of her would nice to see her and her inviroment
