My bird doesn't mind me but doesn't like me either?

so i have 3 budgies of which 2 are pretty happy to jump on to my hands, the other one, being a lot older isn't so willing but she'll also get on.

The question i have really is why are they okay to jump on my hand reluctantly but don't want to stay with me? Like they'll sit with me for a few minutes before heading of towards their cage. They are also a lot happier to be handled when outside their cage (They often come out when they feel like) i don't know if they are tame and don't like me? Or just not quite tame yet? Any tips would also be great

thanks in advance

    Birds have personalities and some of them aren't at all interested in human contact. Birds can take a week to 2 years to bond properly to a human. Also a birds cage is its 'home' and they will get territorial over it :)
