Pet advice! please answer!?
I had two birds, one of them just died today. They are parakeets, (names are Danny and Emerald)
I saw that Emerald was dead, so I took her out and buried her a little while later. Then, I went back to Danny, and usually he is really sweet and will come out of his cage and let me hold him and everything, but now he won’t come near me.
What should I do? Is Danny just angry or sad, or I don’t know! What should I do to help him? I'm really worried!

He should be normal. He's acting funny because he knows that you took Emerald and did something with her, so he's insecure about you touching him now. He probably won't change for a little bit if he was really attached to her. Eventually, if you show him that there's nothing to worry about you hurting him, then he'll be back to normal. I hope my answer helps you! Good luck with Danny and sorry about Emerald.

Danny is grieving for Emerald. You don't say how long they were together, but they were buddies and he sorely misses her. As one answer stated, you might try playing with him, trying to draw him out of his funk. And, after some time has passed, you might get another female bird for Danny to be together with. He may object, thinking it;s not Emerald and he doesn't like the new bird, but in time he will (or should) come around and be "right as rain". Good Luck!

Danny is just probably sad because his friend or partner Emerald died. Maybe you should try too get him a new friend to cheer him up

its ok! Danny is upset cause part of his flock just died(u and Emerald are his flock and a flock is very important to a bird) you could get another one or u could be his flcok...just the 2 of u guys! smae thing with my bird Pete! Lucy(his flock member and she was pregnent when she died) and so he was really angry and stuff. so i feld him(he loves to be held with warm hands and to give and get kisses)so i gradually became his buddy! now its just me and him in my dorm room! we are the bestest friends and i was able to convince my science teacher(he loves birds) to bring Pete into his class for the day and then he wouldnt have to be all alone(i bring him home at night and he doesnt need a cage so its really simple-hes like the tamest bird ever and just sits on a perch all day and eat and drink and poop on a napkin! then he climbs on my sholder and comes back with me! thats cause weve became the bestest friends and you could have the same relationship with Danny! just play with him everyday and he will grow your trust! good luck and hope i could help!!!

relies upon how loveable and how tame the two animals are. My buddy had a german shepard and a rex rabbit on my own jointly as quickly as, even after the two confirmed amiable warning signs. whilst he have been given abode, the german shepard had discovered a thank you to open the rabbits pen and killed the detrimental rabbit :( in the experience that your canines has looking pursuits (chasing the squirrel), i propose you do no longer attempt the communication betweeen the two your pets yet... i know my rabbit gets irratated on the sight of alternative animals..... Ask a vet for suggestion for extra information

He's upset of course.If you've ever seen "where the red fern grows", one of two dogs die and the other who is still alive is completely depressed and torn.You should try playing with him and finding another buddy for him two play with.Just like people, animals feel sadness when they lose a friend.

Danny is grieving. Just offer him bits of food and gradually he'll get over it.

He is sad. I would get him some more toys and give more attention. Maybe even put a mirror toy in cage for awhile. I would also Monitor his behavior for sickness as well as what she had may be contagious to him and he may get sick.

depending on how long they have been together he may be very depressed. mine actually died in one month of each other... i can recommend finding him a new friend and introducing them slowly not intrusively as that can be stressful... other then that just show him a hole lotta love
