Hi and welcome! I accidentally answered your post in the "Get Help with Your Bird" section which is supposed to be reserved for the experts, but rather than double posting, I'll just link to my response:
Need lots of help with abused/neglected Blue Crown Conure
I'm a huge fan of clicker training. It's done wonders for my Stewie's trust issues ... to the point where I seem to have trouble getting him off of me now, he always wants to hang out on my shoulder these days (which is a separate problem). But he also doesn't like being touched (anywhere/at all!). I just accept that as part of Stewie's personality and don't expect that he'll change.
So welcome to you and Paulie and Tommy. (Insert ususal disclaimers about immediate avian vet visit, proper cage size, need for plenty of toys, the need to be careful about food conversion, blah blah blah)
