Hi Dan!

Thanx for rescuing those little guys! First thing I'd do is get them in the size cage that JessRoo suggested - AT LEAST that big (In my opinion, no cage is big enough for any kind of animal). Anyway, as far as the bonding, I would say you just need to gradually gain their confidence. Offer them food & treats by hand, talk to them while you're doing it - they just need to get used to you. They probably won't ever be as tame as if you had them since they were babies, but you can probably get them close - depends on how much effort you put into them. Be sure you're feeding them the right diet, giving them the right vitamin supplements, give them a nest box to sleep in and fruit branches to climb on - you'll have to research this (get a book or two from the local pet store or library, or on sites like this) to learn more, but these are the essentials - at least its working for the pair I rescued.

Good luck and keep us posted!
