Try a cage with food and water in it. It my not be thier home but may just be close enough to tempt them.

Lisa,
See if you can tell what specie they are. Do you know anyone with a parrot? If you do, ask if you can borrow it or get them to bring it to your backyard and place the cage on the ground together with the empty one with food and water. If the two in the tree are calling or whistling, the one in the cage will answer and attract them to it. It would be better if it was the same specie but if it isn't you can still give it a try. Good Luck.

 Lisa... I'm from Pensacola, and my wife has had a Quaker for years.... The birds you see are probably wild... and you will never intice them into a cage... Quakers roam freely over Florida, and as far North as the Midwest... They can survive oold weather to an extent, and some Northern States have outlawed them as they are destructive to crops... In South and Central florida they florish, and it not unuasual to see colonies of up to 50 or more nesting in a palm tree... So if you don't have any crops for them to tear up, just enjoy them, and let them be free... Clay and Jessie Parks (Pensacola, Fl.)
