Shortly after Sydney's passing, I actually did adopt two new English budgies - a 6 week old green youngster named Bailey, and a slightly older 6 month old blue spangle male who is almost a spitting image of Sydney. I thought the two newbies might bond with eachother, but nope - sure enough, another connection was instant, and a few weeks later, Arthur has a new best friend to whom he is attached at the hip. He and Bernie have bonded completely.
Bailey, interestingly enough, also bonded immediately to our other budgie, Sam, so everyone is quite content now.
Appearance-wise, Bernie is very alike Sydney - which may be why Arthur gravitated to him immediately - but they are nothing alike in temperament. Bernie is nervous and wild, Sydney calm and trusting. It will take some time to win him over, but we'll get there, and in any case, Bernie seems to be exactly what Arthur needed.
Know how much you adore those two budgies!!
How is he doing? Anyway another giant blue budgie may lift his spirits? I know he must be soo sad.
