Hello Abby, Welcome to the forum! We'd love to see photos of your pretty flock and hear about them.
What kind of help do you need? Can you tell us a little more about your frightened birds and describe the situation? Are they new birds? What seems to be frightening them?

Welcome! My mom has a handfed Princess of Wales. Patches is a character. He loves to run around and play "soccer" with foot toys. He's a good talker too. Although he's hand raised, like most "parakeet" species he does not like to be touched.

You got those birds from an abusive environment? They will definitely need time to calm down. Get them a larger cage for sure. Spend time with them.

Sing to them, try giving millet, make sure they get enough sleep, and keep them in a generally quiet area at least for a little while after you get them.
Good luck! Thank you for rescuing those birds.

it's not the first birds i got from the same person , my husband i and decided if possible to try and get as many as possible out of there, but she sells only, and i don't have much cash xxx the lovebirds came from there as well a year later and they are still scared, but i can feed them and clean them now with out total panic, they have only just started coming to the front of the cage and even had 4 babies, the person breeds birds, but tried for a year and a half with this couple and nothing with me six months when they had babies, i am not bothered if they breed or not it is just for pleasure, but i have good homes for all my babies if they have any xxxx

They are probably not hand-raised, so see humans as scary predators.
Have you thought of reporting this person to the RSPCA? From the sounds of it, they do not take very good care of their birds.

i have thought about it, all the time; but it's not the same if they have food they don't touch them, and they are not allowed to come un anounced so she will just throw food in,
