Hello jester.
that temp u listed is ok for lovebirds, however their ambient temperature shouldn't change too far from day to night. 5 degrees can be too much.
also, do they have an orange brow over their beaks but areyellow everywhere else?
if they are, they sound like a lutino peachface. that just means their blond, and that their genes contain a color mutation for that. they call it lutino *shrug*.
i myself have a peachface lovebird with a color mutation.
good luck with them rascals.

Do they have an eye ring? Are their eyes red? Are their beaks red? They may be lutinos of either Fischer's or Peach-faces.. though the orange coloring leads me to believe Fischer's.

Then again, I may be WAY off. It's hard to tell without a picture. :)

Well to crop a picture, open it up in paint, click image, click Stretch/Skew or ctrl+w and reduce the size by the percent of decrease. :)

yeahp, those are peache faced lutinos. they're very pretty.

it will take alot of patience and some ingenuity , but i think u can get them to be tame. i don't know if u;ll have to separate them so that you can become part of the flock. there are books out there that have plenty of good advice on this.

good luck

Hard to tell, my first thought was Peach-faced Creaminos, but the pictures are so dark it's hard to tell. Creaminos are lighter pink in the face.
