Perhaps you want to repost this question in the bird forum so people more knowledgeable about birds can answer your question.

First, you're not getting many knowledgeable responses by posting this in "Fish"!
These are some things I'd check:
What's their temperature?
Do you have cold weather now? Use any "supplemental heating" sources? Check carbon dioxide/gas fumes. Birds are very sensitive to these and if high enough, will cause problems for humans - this is why they took canaries into mines!
In any case, I'd see about moving the two survivors to fresh air and see if they recover.
Good luck!

I really don't know that much about birds but the first thing I would do would be to call my local veterinarian and see if s/he could help you out.
