Thank you so much to all of you for your kind words,they really helped.
It broke our hearts when we brought Alfie home so that Goldie could say goodbye to him.
I laid Alfie in the bottom of the cage and Goldie jumped down and started nudging Alfie and preening him, trying to get him to move.
We have been giving Goldie extra attention and he seems to be doing ok on his own. Luckily he has another bird, Cuddles (a cockatoo) in a cage next to him so he isn't lacking for company.
It's going to be hard for a while, getting used to seeing only one bird in the cage and Alfie loved to whistle so it's quieter than usual. Maybe in a couple of months, we'll get a new friend for Goldie if we think he needs one.
Thanks again to everyone.
Jess and Gary
