Getting Molly A Friend?

So if you have read Molly's training forum its not going to well since Blue (her best friend) died. We also moved recently and that has made her training fall back a bit. I was wondering do you think she would prefer a budgie friend rather than a human friend??? I would like to get her a friend as she probably is a bit lonely when we are not home and thats most days/all day. She still comes out and sits on top of her cage in the mornings for a little while but goes back in if i approach her cage. I just thought it would be nicer for her to have a friend to keep her company. What do you all think? If you think I should then what gender would be best?

Also could someone direct me to a thread. I remember reading one about the sexing of baby budgies... I think it said something about a baby female has slightly whiteish rings around nostrils and boys don't. Thats what I looked for when I got Molly
