Beautiful Birds, love the pictures.
Peaches, is absolutely gorgeous.
It sounds like you've been really working with them, and it shows

They can definitely be a hassle especially if they're not hand tame to begin with. Tell me about your experience with them?

Well mine wasn't tame at all and when I got him home he wouldn't eat for two days nor drink and eveytime I opened to door he would hiss at me even when I would sit with him and talk quietly he would just open his mouth and keep hissing after few days he was still the same and only eaten a tiny bit so I tried feeding him in my hand and he tried to bite me haha so I thought I'll give him about another week and see if he's changed, anyway he didn't so I ended up returning

He looked very much like your grey one but with no white wing

I have had good and bad experiences with cockatiels.
They do much better and are better mannered with a companion in my experience.
Yours are beautiful and look very well cared for, just one thing to watch is that they will chew anything when they get nesty, and mine gnawed four chunks out of my plaster walls one morning, each hole big enough to put their head into. All day free ranging had to stop that day.

They always want to be included at every meal and here they each claim a sandwich

Yeah, it's a whole different story with an untamed one, especially if it's an adult already. Peaches came to me completely untamed, but since she was only 2 months old, she settled in within a week and now eats from my hand and steps up on my finger. I find they learn a lot by example. Peaches sees that Peary is okay with me and takes food from me so she's also warmed up to me.

I've noticed they've definitely love chewing. So far the only casualty at my place is my one house plant. I have a lot of toys for them around the room, ropes, wood and cardboard so they seem satisfied.

Sheather Oh goodness! That is just nasty! Almost like my lab... Chewed a hole in the drywall that she could fit everything up to her shoulders in... That hole started as a cat door that she could barely fit her head through.

Balding in cockatiels is often a sign of poor genetics/inbreeding
