Yes, older parrots can become tame with time and effort.
You may also need to seperate them for training and taming. Michael has excellent articles on taming birds on his blog, I put the link below

Hey there, I think I replied on your other one but oh well. If they already receive treats from your hand a good way to start is definitely target training. I put the link on your other post but here it is again www.myparrothelp.weebly.com theres a load of stuff about how to approach your bird on there and a good way to target train your bird.
Good luck! :thumbsup:
BTW Michaels articles and blogs on taming parrots are dead useful as well
