I don't think they are "instigating" as that sounds malicious. They may
consider you dangerous and are warning Alias. When you take him out of
their sight, they are panicking and think that you are going to kill
him. Do they start squawking when he is playing with your hands rather
than with your head?

I know the other two are a couple, but you could make it easier to play
with Alias, if you make some effort with them. What happens if when
Alias is out, rather than just playing with him, the two of you spend
time by their cage talking to them?
