Hello and welcome to BYC!

Wonderful you rescued these birds! It may take them a while to calm down around you. Definitely move slowly around them, talk quietly reassuring them. Get yourself a bag of mealworms or small bite sized chopped apples and sit on the floor with them and try to hand feed them. Put pieces on your leg or around your feet. Eventually they will get closer and trust you more. Do this daily and pretty soon they should be a lot more tame.

Enjoy your flock!

Welcome. Agree completely with @TwoCrows approach. It does work. Sometimes it takes longer, but the one thing I have learned it that the longer it takes - the more rewarding the relationship is...
