One of my relatives had a pair of parakeets. One died and she replaced it with no problems since. You could also try using a mirror.

No to any mirrors - they usually bond with the 'mirror budgie' and will try to feed it and interact with it - they will do this to the point of regurgitating so much food, that they die from malnutrition.

oh okay then, I am not sure how old she is at the moment. When I got her she was VERY young! I always heard that two girl parakeets would fight.

thanks I think I will try to get another parakeet. In the meantime is there anything I can do to make her feel more comfortable? And interactive?

You can talk quietly to her/read to her, or toys - none with any string/cotton rope - they enjoy 'toys' made from loo rolls.
 
I've had several pairs of budgies over the years. They never once produced eggs. Introducing a male to a female does not mean she will suddenly start laying eggs.

It is advised to keep male/female pairs over a pair of females, since females are more territorial and thus more prone to fighting with each other than a female/male pair would be.

"Because females are more prone to territorial fighting over space, it is less advisable to keep two females together. Female parakeets bicker more among themselves, stand their own ground, and their disruptive arguing leads to squawking beak duels that disrupts everyone." From this website.

yes I have heard this. Also if/when I get another parakeet, do I need another cage? have heard that "you can't just stick to birds in a cage and expect them to just be friends." Which I totally get. But could I just put a sheld down the middle of the cage I have? her and Calib used to live together in that cage. And they didn't seem to mind to much.

Also, she does "free range" around my bedroom she has a perch along the window, with a ladder and mirror along with stuff on the outside of her cage. so she would still have the same amount of space outside the cage.
What do yo
u think?
