Gosh.. indeed adorable youngins... me SO jealous!!.. Hmm don't worry about pushing the hidey hole thing. Its just something I ran across by accident when I had an aviary full of lovebirds some years ago.. Just one day when handling some (untamed) fledglings one scooted under a pillow on a couch.. and just messing around I slowly slid my hand in there. He was all cuddled up in the dark corner and I caressed the top of his head with a finger... and DIDNT get bit....( strange for that particular bird). He became quite tame quickly hence I tried the same thing with perhaps a couple dozen lovebirds over a period of time.. probably with 90% success. 10% would wanna latch on like a snapping turtle. IF you are not coming back with wounded fingers theres a fair chance it will work with your birdies...but yeah... if they go in to a panic screaming and/or get defensive and latch on I would not push them any further with it. Just had my fingers crossed you would have the same luck I had. Good luck
