Suzy might just be curious. After all she sees them fly around. I laugh when I see birds walking, but many of them do it. Even though they can fly they still like a little time walking on the ground.
I was arguing with someone about birds a few days ago. Not all pet birds want to be handled. I think it stresses them. I can find pictures of diamond doves being held, but I don't think they are comfortable with it. I have my doves so that they are comfortable with me feeding and cleaning them. They even listen when I talk.
I can see how your birds, even though they are tame, would find handling to be stressful. I don't think most birds like being handled. I think it is respecting the bird to respect its boundaries.
