Tal,
I had cockatiels for years and they are just so smart and funny. Mine were handled by people since they came out of the egg. That makes a huge difference. If you interact with them from day 1 they will become very sweet and attach themselvs to you. My cockatiels would snuggle with me under my chin and talk to me. They also sang jingle bells all day long!!! Which would drive some people in our house crazy! Sorry to go on and on about them but I sure was crazy about my little guys.
Tal, will they sit on your shoulder? Try talking to them, they will probably answer you! They are funny enjoyable little characters try interacting with them!
