Will my parakeet mate with a new parakeet after losing a mate?

Answer 1

It's impossible to tell for sure. If he does it will take 3 months to a year. Also parakeets often die shortly after their mate or companion dies. You should take it to the vet to have him checked because grieving parakeets are very susceptible to illness. Sometimes parakeets will die from grief and no other reason can be found wrong. My close friend had two parakeets, and after the female died suddenly of egg-binding, the male refused to eat or fly or do anything. All he would do is lie in the cage in the spot where his mate had died, and if he was moved he would go back to that spot. My friend took him to 2 avian vets who could not figure out what was wrong, no infections or tumors or anything like that. The vet gave her vitamin food to feed him. She hand fed him for a while and then he died anyway.
