bonding with my lovebirds

Question
I have recently had some relatives come down from New York and they brought down four lovebirds. During the drive the birds killed one, so now I have three.They were now two very small cages with two in one cage and one in the other. Since I got the birds,I thought that the two together had already bonded to each other and I wondered if it was still possible I could bond to them or bond with the lonely one. The lonely one always gets bullied around and I think it needed a very good friend, so almost every day I try to pet him but he flies away from me, and I have clipped one of his flight wings.I think that he has a lot of stress on him seeing that he just moved to a new place.I have also bought them a forty dollar cage from Petco so they have more space.I've been letting them out the cage and lending them an old artificial plant my father didn't want anymore.I just want them to be happy instead of being bored all the time.Can you tell me what to do or what I'm doing wrong?

Answer
Nope, don't put them in a cage of three or the two will beat the other one until it's dead. Lovebirds are VERY aggressive towards other birds. Having the one wing trimmed is very dangerous. You need to clip BOTH wings, and have a vet do it instead of an employee at PetCo because they have no idea what they're doing usually.
Make sure they have LOTS of toys! There should be 2-3 in each cage and you should change the toys about once a month so they don't get bored. To get the "lonely" one to like you, you don't just start out petting it since that'll just stress him out. Teach him to trust you by feeding him millet or another favorite treat out of your hands each day for a week or so, then try petting him while feeding him-MOVE SLOWLY and let him decide how much contact he wants. When he starts to trust you, he'll let you pet him.
