Thanks. These guys are at least 14 weeks old or-so. I wish they were younger when we got them (end of July), and I've been talking to them & trying to befriend them since but they still refuse to eat out of my hand. Will probably get within 8" of my nose to the point I kinda get freaked out, but they always have a 'no touchie' attitude. Very inquisitve birds. :)
