Don't know anything about Amazons, but that looks like a blue-crowned conure (BCC) to me (like in the movie Paulie). Poor guys... but lucky they ended up with you. You're obviously already doing a lot to help them. Are they buddies? Are they at least drawing some comfort from each other's presence?
I think it's possible they could come around with LOTS of TLC, patience and love. Parrots are much more adaptable than we give them credit for, so if you establish some consistency and reward-based/positive reinforcement interaction with them, they'll learn to trust you in time. Were you planning on keeping them and seeing if you could work with them or are you thinking of turning them over to a rescue right away?
You're right to quarantine them from your current birds. Also go ahead and throw out all their old food and start feeding them better. Sounds like they were on a terrible diet. You may need to keep them on seed if that's all they'll eat, but at least make it a better quality of seed and see if you can sneak some healthier foods in there.
Please keep us updated on how things are going and ask whatever questions you have. We'll do our best to help.
