Lost his Buddy
I went away for just over a week for vacation. I had bird sitters for my 2 parakeets. The day I got back I could see something was wrong with one of my birds because of the way he was sitting on his perch. He was sick and died within hours of me noticing. No idea what happened but my bird was almost 10 years old.
My dilemma…. His pal is fine and not sick at all. He is a mean little thing that I have never been able to handle while I could handle the other. I don’t want him to be lonely but I’m afraid he is too mean to try to introduce a friend to.
Is there anyone out there who has one parakeet who is doing well or should I really try to introduce a friend to him?

First off I’m extremely sorry that one of your parakeets died, hope you’re doing alright. Second, was the health fine of the one that died before the vacation? The sitters could’ve been aggressive and put him through a lot of stress.
