Not bonding, depressed ??

Me again..

so i purchased a bonded pair, very happy but the hen died due to the heat.

so i bought another hen and put into aviary, thinking they'd bond ...but after a week or so not much interest.

i asked here and someone said add another hen...i did that and still nothing much...so three kaks in the aviary and all pretty much hanging on their own!...sad shite..

so i moved the cock with a hen into a suspended aviary ...its not small, its about 180cm wide, 60cm high and 60 cm deep......

day 3 and NOTHING....its like these guys are depressed. they kinda sit on a perch, etc and slightly puffed and i'm convinced they are depressed bad.....

i've never seen a kakariki kinda just sit there, these are seriously just sitting there....absolute minimal movement!! ...

what could it be? i'm really starting to feel bad about them - i even played a youtube kakariki clip and that got them singing for a minute, but they are seriously just pretty much sitting there doing nudda but the occasional trip to the food tray..please help!
