My male cockatiel Puccini has very sadly lost his male companion in the last 5 days. They had been together for over 15 years. Puccini just flies round the house screaming, especially when I arrive home as he believes I am returning him. I find it very heartbreaking as I have loved my birds very much. I do have 2 other cockatiels who keep each other company and have done so since 1993, but Puccini has only ever tolerated them in the same room, but never too close. Would buying another cockatiel be the answer or will he settle down. He is also not eating as well due to agitation etc
