Do female parakeets get mean when their mates die?

I had 2 parakeets 1 male 1 femal - the male was only 6 months old when he was killed by a dog. My female parakeet - also only about 6 months old was visibly shaken by the event and we decided that she needed a new friend - we went to the pet store and we thought we got another male, but it ended up being a female - well my first female started biting the new bird the minute we put her in the cage and has not stopped - we ended up seperating them because our first female was biting so bad the other bird was losing feathers - we took the new bird back but are now afraid to get another bird as a companion. Is this normal? Should we wait awhile before getting another bird? Please help!
Answers:
You placed a new bird in her cage, You should get seperate cages until they are used to each other
