Both birds may appreciate a quick shower with a spray bottle filled with warm water. Cockatiels usually love showers and may hang upside down 
Birds ideally need about 12 hours of dark/ quiet daily
They will naturally be loud a few times a day - usually at wake up, some time mid day, and at bedtime
They will have a very quiet/siesta period daily

A bird that appears ill is likely VERY ill - sitting on bottom of the cage, fluffed feathers, not eating or drinking, clogged nares, seed stick around their beaks, etc,

I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this. I would offer to help if I was closer. There are some avian rescue groups in your area. Unfortunately, the two species you have are “Pet store” birds and not likely to greater a lot of interest for them. You may honestly be best to post on a buy and sell board, as much as I hate that for live animals.

If you can post a few more pictures, i can possibly help you figure out if they’re male or female as both species are sexually diimorphic. The cockatiel will be a little harder as it’s a mutation, but pictures with the tail would be helpful..[/quote]
