If your entire flock is experiencing illness and then death, it would be best to seek veterinary care in person ASAP to try and find the underlying cause and provide treatment. It would be best to remove any sick or sick looking birds from the flock and move them to isolated hospital cages to avoid spreading illness or disease among the remaining healthy birds and losing the rest of the flock. Once the underlying cause is found, you can then take measures to both treat and preventively avoid further illness.

Hello! I'm sorry to hear that your budgies are sick. Unfortunately, without knowing what is causing their illness, a treatment can't be recommended. I'm sorry that we can't be of more help, but we cannot legally make treatment recommendations. Even a veterinarian would not be able to recommend treatment without at least examining the birds as the wrong treatment could make them worse. Their symptoms are vague and common for multiple different diseases, ranging from a viral, bacterial, fungal, or parasitic infection, to a traumatic injury or inhalant toxicity. If there is no veterinarian available, the best thing that you can do for your birds is to put them somewhere warm and calm and make sure that they have easy access to food and water. If they have any discharge at their cere or eyes, be sure to keep that clean with a soft cloth and warm water. Good luck, and I hope that your budgies get well soon.
