It is impossible to know which direction the pathology went. Your captive- bred birds can be happily coexisting with a parasite/illness that a wild caught bird has no resistance to and eventually succumbs to. The quarantine might protect your birds from something the wildcaughts are carrying, but it will not affect the wildcaughts reaction to an exposure they are unprepared for.
