Hi!

Well it takes a LONG time. Did you buy your birds hand raised/ tamed? And how old? If they're not hand raised/tame and young when you got them then it's highly unlikely they will ever be friendly with you.

But if you did! Your birds are just a bit scared of you at the moment because they aren't used to you yet. Just try not to put your hands near them anytime soon. They like their personal space!!!
My IRN took about 3 months to finally stop biting me EVERY TIME my hands went near her. But now, if she's sleepy she will let me pat her =)

Try only putting your hands near your birds if you have something that they will like (Eg a piece of orange, a sunflower seed etc)
That way when they see your hand they will think YUM!

But mainly it's just patience. Just try not to ever grab your birds when they don't want to be. They hold grudges for LONG TIME!! I found out the hard way!!
