Unhappy Please pray that these birds are ok!!

I brought the rescued tiels to the vet yesterday and while Max is a little under weight, the other 3 are severly underweight. I just finished clipping their nails and wings and you can feel every single bone in their bodies I have no idea what their history is (except that it is bad) so I don't know if they always had food or if it's something more. I won't get the test results back from the vet until next week so until then please pray that it is nothing seriousand that they put weight on soon! They eat a normal amount and their poops are normal so that's promising but I'm still really worried. I have never seen or felt birds this skinny before The vet did call and say that they are severly dificient in calcium and vitamains which explains why they chow down on the mineral block and cuttle bone so much. On the plus side they all stepped up for the first time today!
