One of my two parakeets died earlier. :( -sniffle- And the second one saw, and since there were sort of like best friends, the second one became stressed. Any tips on how to lower her stress??
Answers:
it may be her griveing that is being seen as stress. in either case provied millet and try to comfert her by talking in soothing tones also let her see other birds either wild birds outside of the window or you can show a bird video.
Cover her cage for a bit and maybe consider getting her a new buddy?
my budgies love music especially country music. Loretta Lynn works well. Talk and reassure your bird, consider getting a new playmate.
GET A PET PHYSIC
You should really think about getting another one. My aunt had a parakeet die last year, and her mate died a week later. It spent that entire week calling out for his mate before dying, it was really sad.
I read that cats grieve when they lose a friend like that and get very upset if a new replacement comes in too soon. Check the web for parakeet sites that may have some information on how to deal with this.
The bird probably does not understand that its cage mate is not returning. Try to give it lots of attention. If has any favorite treats, give him some.
Mostly you have to let it grieve , and give it time to recover from the loss. Birds are a lot like people, and grieving is a natural process.
Sorry.
Maybe you should let her stay in her cage a while and not take her out all the time. That might calm her down.
Do NOT get another one right away. I did that after one of my budgies died and the female killed the new budgie because she wasnt over the other one. Take some time. To be sure watch her behavior for about a month after the death. Im serious.
-Get her a mirror to look at so she doesnt die of loneliness. -Spend more time with her
-play soft music for her to calm her down
birds can die from loneliness..so take good care of her. time will pass and it will be okay..
