That's wonderful! It's so great to bond with them. Another tip I have is to have one name or word for all of them that they are accustomed to and they will always come to you for that word. I've been calling mine "babies" since they were born. Now if they are out free ranging in our huge yard I can yell, "Babies!!" and they fly and sprint from wherever they are to me. It's so funny.Thank you also much for the replies! I am a girl, and I read they are attracted to red nail polish so I'm glad I don't have any on! I have been handling them a bunch more, and it is really helping! They run over to my hand and chirp at me when they hear my voice. You were all right that it takes consistency and time!
