The water bath is good, or mist them down every once and a while. Tropical birds don't overheat that quickly, as long as they have some shade to go in to. I still suggest keeping an eye on them, as you always should for hawk predators and overheating or chills.
Our parrots and cockatoos at the zoo had no problem in the hot weather- did drink more water, but handled 90s and humid fine. The red tailed hawk was panting with any exertion at about 80-85, even with a dish of cold water. If you think about it, most pet birds come from the tropics and are used to warmer weather. Until I got my cockatiel acclimated to Wisconsin weather, she would start to shiver at 65 degrees!

Put a bowl with water they can splash around in in the cage.
