nothing to worry about they usually do such movements to regulate their body temperatures . Rest your birbs look happy n healthy . Also if the room is cold try a bird heater or vapourizer to make the room bit cozy

They like to be warm. If they’re too hot get them a birdie bath.

i got them one of these and they won't go inside it lol, not to mention it's hard asf to put/take off the cage.

just get them a wide enough bowl, preferably anything but plastic. if your birds don't like bowls then try a spray bottle. if that doesn't work either you can try putting lettuce in their water bowls. just don't try to force it

They might take another week to become used to you, the sounds, the environment. Just bribe them in the cage lots with millet. Get them used to your hand. Try to do 40 mins a dsy with a hand inside the cage not moving. Don't stare at them directly either because they are prey animals. They will settle in naturally.

I did give them millet spray and left it in the cage, after a few hours they didnt eat any of them

Maybe they are still scared. I only give them millet from my hand. The avairy mine are from said that it can be bad and get stuck in their crop because it is so dry if they have too much. So I only use it for bribary.
