I dont usually starve my young birds anymore when Gabe gave me the advice not to...it works and I fed them as much as they want...
Your problem might be hard becuz theyve been doing what you want and then change all of a sudden...I say rest them and put them on top of the kit box for them to get comfortable again and see what happens...

mario, Rocky is right. Don't feed them at all and then place them on top of the kit box. Don't flag them but just let them look around and adapt to the settling box being removed. After awhile they will start taking short flights around your yard and then farther out and back to the box. Wait until all have trapped and feed them as a kit. Try to do everything the same everyday and as a kit at this point.
I hope this helps and good luck.
