The seeds *should* pass through fine, but as a precaution, for the next few days pay close attention to their feces, their behavior, and I'd also start weighing them on a daily basis. If their feces become watery, discolored, they start acting off, or they start losing weight, they should see a vet.

Make sure you give them a handful or so of grit.

What does the grit do for them?

It helps them to "chew" their food. It's like teeth to grind food down.
First the food goes into the crop, then it goes into the gizzard. The gizzard holds rocks/grit in it, the gizzard is a muscular organ that with the grit, grinds down food so it can be utilized by the bird.
