for some reason they have taken a disliking to your son, and have become cage territorial with him.

Sorry, I can't offer much help here, but if those were my birds, I'd be putting them back in their cage in a hurry, and would remain there,until I figured out a plan.

You could try getting your son to give them treats while they are in their cage, nothing small though as they could nip his fingers thru the bars, try something like a long piece of millet.
