Hi Emma,
I’m so sorry to hear about Starburst. I know you and Skittles miss her. Watch Skittles carefully and make sure he is eating. He may keep calling for her for a few days. Generally birds will grieve for a short time but soon be OK. You can give him some extra treats and talk to him to keep him company. A TV or radio can help with any loneliness he feels. He might like a toy with a mirror. Mirrors are OK as long as the bird does not become obsessed with it.
Take Care,
Brenda
