Ramsabi, Its just a wild guess looking at the brightness of the yellow-rings around their pupil. I'm looking upto the forum's experience for a thorough understanding of these guys. Update so long is that they seem to have mellowed down but still are showing signs of nervousness and howling when anyone walks close to their respective cages and even when I change their food & water twice daily. Needless to mention, they make all sorts of sounds whole day, especially during mornings and evenings.

Dave007, Understood Sir. Done just as you said, no nestbox, separate cages, fresh fruits, veggies, pellets, seeds and water. Lets' see how this goes ... Keep talking to them whenever I'm home but they get scared and nervous when they see me approaching which is very disheartening but thats' no deterrent to my patience and commitment. They keep making all sorts of sounds (screeching, whistling etc.) all day long, what does that mean?

Dave007 & Acappella, your suggestions have been implemented. I observed their aggression & nervousness was visibly reduced ever since they came over in my household. However per your valuable suggestion, now Allen & Casey are in separate cages and the nestbox has been removed. These guys look very much bonded and inlove, they have been crying out loud ever since they've been separated and they are showing more aggression and nervousness ever since their separation, should I get them back together still keeping the nestbox away?

My heartfelt thanks to the forum for making me feel worth my greys. I have named them Allen & Casey, Allen is aggressive and Casey seems to be more benevolent and observant. I greet them with their names softly and very frequently whenever I'm home. I talk to them sweet nothings, praise and appreciate whatever they do to get them relaxed. I'm feeding them with mixture of pellets, seeds, fruits & vegetables alongwith fresh clean water.

You are absolutely right and that's the way it should be here in India as well, but after many months of research, I could acquire these babies. What has happened is history and I will do all I can to make this phase the best in their life and give them all the love, care and affection they truly deserve and that's why I'm looking upto this forum for help & advise as I move along in this new journey.

These guys look like fully-grown adults, might be between 3 to 5 yrs. The petstore owner was also clueless since he had also got them from somewhere, I have their DNA sexing docs but it doesn't mention their ages. Petstore guy told me that these guys are wild and would be good if kept inside the cage however I let their cage doors open over last 03 days and they would quickly find the way out on top of their cage and sit there all day long trying to explore the locale and again showing all signs of nervousness. I have strategically placed their cage so as to have them get a clear view'n feel of all the happenings in the house.

These guys seems to be completely wild, growl and scream and show all signs of nervousness when someone walks close to their cage and even on changing water and food. I have acquired them 15 days back and would need your expert advise in settling and calming them down so that they can start to feel more comfortable with us at home.
