He's been hanging out with my birds for 2 weeks already everytime I let them out, he flies with them. I've already been doing preventative meds on my own birds and will start him on them now, as well.

It is good idea to keep him in the quarantine for a month. Some of the diseases take up to 4 weeks to show. It is one thing when bird ocassionaly comes in and other when is non-stop arround. It may be that he is healthy and just needs home, but rather be safe than sorry.
