I got some wonderful advice over on the NYC Bird Club, so I'd figure I'd share it here incase anyone else is in a similar predicament.
It was recommended that I seek a second opinion and take my birds to another vet asap. In the meantime I kept them in a hospital room with, partially covered with the temperature around 75. Today I took them to Dr. Goodman's practice in Aston PA. Even though she was booked, she managed to fit them in between patients. She found rods in my female's droppings so they are both being treated for a bacterial infection. Instead of recommending bloodwork and xrays, she took swabs from each of them and just a drop of blood from oliver to do a white blood cell count.
So I guess all in all if you're uncomfortable with your vet's course of action, by all means seek a second opinion.
Also the vets in the Phila/South Jersey area that were recommended are:
Dr. Goodman, Aston PA
Dr. Mckinley, Hillsoboro NJ
Animal and Bird Health Care in Cherry Hill
Dr. Crupi in Nutley NJ
Dr. Wolf in Parsippany NJ
