4 weeks old Parrotlet

A friend just gave me 3 baby parrotlet. They are 4 weeks old still handfeed 2 times a day. When I feed them they try to bite because my friend took it out of the nest yesterday and I just got it this morning. What should I do to make them stop?

And what if I want to breed them should I get a female that is younger than the male or is it the other way or should I get it at the same age?

Well if they are 4 weeks, perhaps they were just pulled late?
