That is too bad. I am sure the vet is not to blame after all you took him to the vet because it must have been sick. Yes you should definitely get a new bird asap.
Good luck!

Don't rush into getting a new pet -- it wouldn't be fair to either you or the new pet. Another bird cannot replace the one you lost; it would be a new pet, with a new personality. Simply because it wasn't the bird you lost, it would likely be a disappointment to you. Wait until you've healed a bit. When you are willing to start a relationship with a new friend, THEN start your search for a new pet.

I would wait a little, at least.
I lost a female gold mantled rosella 3 years ago who I adored. Her mate was so distraught that I replaced the bird within a few days for his sake. Otherwise, I would probably have lost him too. I felt I had no choice in the matter. However, for a few months, I resented the new bird. Every time I looked at her in the other bird's aviary, eating her food, playing with her toys I hated her. I have this bird 3 years now and she is the most adorable bird I could have. I felt so guilty for my feelings after wards. At the time I wasn't ready for her. I think you need to give yourself time for your grief. Then, when you are ready to love another bird, get one. This bird will not be the bird you lost and you must be ready to love it for itself.

Sorry about your bird. Some things are meant to be and maybe you are supposed to have another bird. Go find you a new bird. I'm sure that you're pet bird would want you to be happy. Take Care.

Oh man, I feel bad for you. My bird died last year, and I had him for a while and I loved him alot too. I waited about two months to get a new bird, and it helped alot. I love my new bird alot and almost as much as I loved my old bird. Just wait a little while and then get a new bird and you will love it just as much! Good luck!

Do you have photogrph of that bird? If you have then enlarge it frame it and hang on a wall. You can have a good view. Bring a similar bird and name the new bird the same name in which you used to call your pet bird. After few days you will feel better.

You should wait about 6 months to get another bird. You can never replace an old pet with a new one.

First let me say I am sorry for your loss.
If you think it is too soon to get a new bird, then it is. People are likely to answer this question based on what would be best for them, but since this is something that is different for every person, you need to think about what is best for you.

I thinks its too soon also. But you do need to get your mind on something else. Maybe a pet that doesn't remind you of the bird so much.
