Answer
PLEASE, if you do nothing else, call a vet who is experienced in avian care and tell them what's going on. They may want to exercise special precautions for you to bring these birds in (or perhaps they make house calls).

A vet diagnosis is absolutely necessary. I know you may be concerned about the cost, but losing these precious birds, one right after the other, is even more costly isn't it?

You need to get them attention right now. By the time you see the problem in their eyes, it's too advanced. This is something starting on the inside - an illness, virus, fungus or something else (that's why a vet is necessary to test them).

 Good luck, and God bless those little spirits.
