They come out and do there activities when I'm in the room and hand feed them every so often and I got oats as heard

I found the best way to get them used to you is to just sit by their cage, with the door open, and chat to them. They will get used to your voice and presence.

If you then place your hand in the cage with some treats on the palm, sit still and chat away, they will eventually come and have a nosey at what you've got.

It can take some time for them to become really comfortable with you, patience is the key

The secrets are patience and finding out what their favourite treats are. Other seeds and dried veg can be good, have a look at our nutrition charts in the feeding section sticky thread idea for ideas. Try to let them take the lead, put your arm around n the cage with some good treats and just remain completely still, especially when they show signs of interest and when they eventually come to you.
