First, Congrats on your new fids! I find it very strange that your bourkes are acting that way. All of mine are very docile, and always have been. In fact, I know a lady with a bourke that is completely finger trained! Monica is right, however, that most people keep them as aviary birds.
What I usually do when I bring home new birds is give them a day or two (unless being quarantined), to adjust to their new cage, room, and toys. Then I slowly start interacting more and more. Sometimes reading to them, or turning on soft music, etc. Always calmly and slowly change their food etc. They can be spooked pretty easily. They will eventually get used to your presence.
Do you know how old your birds are? I have found that young grasskeets can be tamed with time and patience if started young. However, since you have two together they may not be interested in you at all.
