My bird has the bird form of Mycoplasma, help!

Don't feel that it was bad to post. You now have much more information than you did before. You can't be afraid to ask questions because you may not like the answers. Those answers, good or bad, are very valuable. Part of our responsibility as good pet owners is to be as informed as possible.
Sometimes, very hard decisions have to be made. In the last year, I have had to have 3 of my precious beloved cats put to sleep. They had incurable illness and were in pain. It would have been extremely selfish of me to have them continue in such a state. My decision was made from love.
Any time you ask for advice you are going to get many many different versions of what you should do. No one is forcing you to do anything. You should read all the responses and then decide for yourself what advice you find helpful and forget about the rest. Bottom line, by reading all you will make better decisions.

Painful, yes.
It's a rough subject...
...but needs to be talked about out in the open.

I feel like I should call some type of animal control to come get the animals humanely.

Thanks, that is very encouraging.

I will stop quarantining them.

What I meant was stop giving medicine Willy nilly to random birds.

Have you talked to your parents about this situation?

They are not random.

I am going to.

They are wild-ish and do what they please, they ran to my house, I do catch some and quarantine them and give them meds to make sure they are healthy for a couple days, then I put them back.

This post.... This catching birds and giving medicine for a couple of days....not knowing what you're treating and not knowing if you're even giving the proper medicine is what is bad.
This causes antibiotic resistant diseases.

I should not say medicine, I give them vitamins, no antibiotics.

We live and learn. Hopefully this never happens again.
