Answers:

Budgies or parakeets are flock birds and are far better in at least a pair, so yes go out and find a partner for your bird.It does not matter what sex you buy as they all get on well together. It will probably take up to 72 hours for them to settle down together but in will probably be a lot quicker. Take any mirrors out of the cage and they will talk to each other rather than the reflection.

most certainly get another

---

get another one that looked like your original one so you dont cause your bird to much grief

---

You might want to get one that is younger so that it will not die before the other one.

---

the one parakeet may not take to the new one , but they can grieve themselves to death. easiest thing to do is have another cage and put the new one in a let them get adjusted that way

---

Definitely get another one

---

yes, getting another bird is a good idea esp since your bird was used to having company:0)

I would definetly get another to go with that one or that one could mourn himself and stop eating..

I think "grief" counseling would be in order here. Maybe once a week for 4-6 weeks should be enough.
