Are these birds outside or in cage?
You can soak bird pellets in water and hand feed them small
wet mush on your fingertips. or a bit of oatmeal, mashed
potato, wet bread etc. to make friends.
Budgies tend to tame quickly when young
the more nice contact you have with them the more tame they
become.
