Budgies ate amaryllis

Yesterday evening I entered my room to find that my budgies had taken a huge chunk from my amaryllis bud.
I phined the vets and I was told that there is not much they can do if they have ingested it.
They said just keep an eye on them and phone us back if they show any signs of illness or distress.
I have read that amaryllis posioning can cause, vommitting, diarreha, depression, apetite loss, tremors, drooling and abdominal pain.
I have not noticed any major physical symptoms, but they are a lot quieter, making small sqeaky noises and don't look very happy and are fluffed up.
Could they just be experiencing abdominal pain, or should I make an appointment with the vet.
I ma very worried about the budgies. They are both only about 4-5 months old.
