Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I'm so sorry someone dumped sick birds on you. The gurgling most certainly sounds like a respiratory infection. As @janiedoe mentioned, most birds that recover from most respiratory infections are carriers for life and show symptoms of illness when stressed and spread it to other birds.
I would consider humanely euthanizing those birds and hope you haven't inadvertently brought the infection into your flock.
You can start a new thread for them in the ER Forum with pictures and video and get other opinions on a course of action. I'm very sorry for both you and those birds.

Welcome to BYC. So glad to meet you! Best wishes with your sick birds. I am just so sorry that somebody seems to have knowingly sold you birds that were sick. Good for you for quarantining them. As JanieDoe says above, practicing biosecurity as you move between your 1st flock and the new birds will help make the quarantine effective. To learn more, use the Search tab in the menu at the top and enter either QUARANTINE or BIOSECURITY. Enjoy those birds!
