Trouble taming

[csnail]

I've had my two boys for almost a year now and I am having a lot of trouble with taming them. I am there second owner and I got them at about 3 months old, I also don't think the previous owner did any taming with them.
They will eat from a millet spray I'm holding and one will occasionally hop on my hand to eat it but that is as far as I can get. Doing this I have to be very still, barely moving or they will both fly away. They only come to my hand when I have food otherwise they seen nervous.
I would appreciate any tips I can get.

It can be difficult to tame both birds at the same time try one at a time.

If you get one to be comfortable around you the other may follow suit. Say if one lands on your shoulder the other one may too.

I have some birds that have just never been comfortable around me. Naturally they are fearful of humans to them we are predators.

You could play some classical music to calm the birds during your training sessions to let them know it's that time again.

Have the millet ready and only give it to them when training.

Others may have more suggestions
Good luck
