Try to bond with her, but dont rush her.. She's missing him. Try to give her more treats than usual.. so she will try to eat. By giving her to another owner, she will experience more stress.
It is so hard to know when a bird is sick..I am sorry for your lost..
Your female give her time..i would not change anything in her cage right now
Buy her a mirror and place it where her male used to sit ..this will help her get though her loss.
Give it time..
You did not say how old they are..but if your female dies..than they may have some kinda of bird sickness..and I would report it to the store/place you bought them at..(if you just bought them)
She's probably stressed out without him. Birds are social animals. Give her time, don't scare her or force her out of her cage.
