If your birds have eaten any food or item that is not within their normal diet and are looking sick, I would recommend having them evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible. There are many food items that birds are not meant to eat, and can make them feel ill. Your veterinarian can evaluate your birds, and then may determine that they need to have diagnostic testing performed, including blood work to evaluate their systemic health. They may also be prescribed fluids or other medications.
