Lonely Budgie Help Please :c

[ihavelike6pets]

Since I'm new I want to give a quick back story, it's sad so brace yourselves and also sorry for long reading for you.

So I use to have 2 I think juvenile budgies one green/yellow *Quackie Chan* and a white/blue budgie *Ming ming* but now I have 1 lonely budgie.
Ming ming was a little brave just don't get too close to her cause she would let us feed her and all except quacky chan unless ming ming went first, well sadly after a month or so quacky chan sadly passed away during their daily cage outside time and we still don't know how he died cause it was pretty.... graphic, and ming ming was really sad/traumatized/depressed, she just sat there looking at her fellow mate at the scene and they were like boyfriend girlfriend.

Well now after like 2 months ming ming is still sad about the whole ordeal, so for right now she doesn't make a lot of noise like before with her friend but occasionally does loud squawks, chirps and squeaks here and there. She eats and drinks regularly and play with her toys which is very rare to see. But what really got me on my toes is I saw her one day just straight up pull a small feather out, I even noticed her tail feathers shorter and they are at the bottom of her cage. Either she pulled them out or they molted.

My main question here is what can I do to make her trust me and become my friend or something, I don't want her to be lonely and sad anymore. My mom won't buy another bird because the two were that loud, especially during music playing nights. Please and Thank you. 


P.S Idk if the picture is there but tips on how to get it to work if it doesn't go through and can I just send the link it shows at the top of my computer? We also stopped doing outside time and just have her near a window where the sun shines.

The uploading tips need to be updated, yes.

Sorry about losing your other budgie, but after all that time, I really doubt that you remaining bird is actually still mourning that lose, but more likely missing having a companion. Rather selfish (sorry, I don't usually respond negatively to parents' wishes ... they are the home owners, after all) for your mother to say no to another bird when there has already been two in residence.

All you can do is continue to try to get her to interact with you. You can't force her - she will or she will not. Keep trying, is all I can suggest.

Thank you. I'll try to get her to play with me more and also I'll ask my mom, she probably will let me get another bird if I pay for him but it depends I guess.
