Sorry if I am in the wrong place, i am new to this website and need some advice. I had a parakeet for 6 months and this morning he had a very sudden death. I was wondering how long should I wait before getting another bird and can I use the same cage? I also wanted to know if I should consider getting two birds because my first parakeet (Rio) always freaked out until I held him in front of a mirror. I am guessing that he was very lonely during the day while I was at School. Thank You!
