In 100% of my cases the answer has been yes. Most times not as quick as you like it all depends on the individual bird.

A male will readily select another mate. In my experience hens take a little longer to select another mate. When I was actively breeding Birmingham rollers, I would break up and remate pairs several times a year trying out combinations to produce better birds. I always pen mated these birds
because once they were returned to the community loft they would always go back to the mate of their choice. Their joy (that is sure what it looked like to me) at being back with their favorite mate was very evident.

Yes, she will pair up again. If in a community loft then it's best to separate them together by themselves.

if its alone with no sight or sound of original mate, maybe switching cages, as seems to help, she will pair up fine in week to month. goodluck!
