My condolences on the loss of your little bird. Without a post mortem examination, it would be very difficult to determine the cause of death. She may have been quite ill for some time and simply succumbed to whatever illness she had. Birds are very adept at concealing any illness or injury until they are very sick. Try to spend some more time with your remaining bird. Make sure he continues to eat and drink and monitor for any lethargy, loss of appetite or loose droppings. Keep him warm and as stress free as possible. You may want to have him examined by your veterinarian or an experienced avian veterinarian to confirm good health in case your other bird died from something contagious.
