Yes, but not the next day. Maybe a couple of months or 1 year after the pet died. For me, personally, I need time to mourn the loss of my pet. I believe that when a pet dies it can NEVER be replaced, EVER! But you can still save the life of an animal in need, and fill a different place in your heart with the new animal, but the other animal will always have a place too. Your heart is big enough for all the animals in the world, IMO.

I really don't think I'm getting another parakeet though. Star just isn't the kind of bird who likes other ones in her cage. Weird I know, but she used to torture Sunny to the point where we almost had to separate them.
