Give it some heat, anything will do, desk lamp ect, give some form of electrolytes, even a bit of glucose in the water, to keep its energy up, try offering it's favorite food to encourage it to eat.

Wow that's a lot of mice . Sadly your not the Lone Ranger when it comes to the mouse plague at the moment . Seems to be a nationwide event and a lot of people with aviaries are struggling .
Sorry you lost your birds .
