Not good news he was gone when I got back with supplies I'm so in over head with these birds. I sure hope I can increase their health and well being. I have changed their diets from what the previous owner feed them (just hole corn) after research, wormed them for the first time in their lifes. Provided a dust bath hoping to help with their mites but they will not use it. I just feel like I am still failing them.

So sorry... It's a steep learning curve, but there are many people here that can help you. A necropsy can be very helpful, but it's not something that everyone is willing to do.

Here is a list of labs that can do necropsies:
