As I posted elsewhere in another thread, have you looked at the bedding you use for them? Perhaps it does not agree with them.

ACV and garlic are what I put in the water for a pick me up.

This post may help as Snifter says.

Personally I would be thinking Mycoplasma infection / Respiratory Disease and going to visit the vet with a bird for examination and a course of Baytril or Tylan to see if it clears it up.

Yes, they can catch a cold but it's unusual in my experience.
