To replace a cockatiel?

[a11ycat]

Hi,
I had two cockatiels, Sunny for about 1 year old, and Minstrel for about 9 months. I originally purchased Minstrel to keep Sunny company as she tended to miss me alot when I was at work or had to go away for a while. Unfortunately Minstrel died suddenly yesterday. I'm obviously upset, and am not going to get a replacement for him straight away. However, Sunny is now without company again, and although they never got on brilliantly they were beginning to call to each other and generally sit near each other and I had hoped that that would continue to improve. However, now she's alone, I wonder whether I should get her another friend, she's still relatively young and hopefully got a long life ahead of her, so I wonder if in a few weeks it would be a good time to find her a new friend. She doesn't seem to be acting much differently, and I'm keeping an eye on her to try and ensure that she's not going to be sick too, aswell as trying to spend a bit more time with her generally.

So sorry to read about Minstrel.
I think if you are happy to have another then I am a great believer in animals having at least one other of their own species to talk to and interact with.

so sorry to hear about Minstrel Allycat

if Sunny is still alone while you are at work, or even away, i would get her a companion.

I am so sorry about Minstrel A11ycat : (
I agree, I think all animals are happier if they have another of their species around
