First of all, please accept my condolences on your loss.
Now, PBFD is carried from bird to bird through feather dander and aerosolized poop so as long as you have gotten rid of all their stuff and cleaned the room thoroughly [I like painting for that because, that way, you know you did not miss a spot], it should be OK for you to get more. And, if you do, I highly recommend you adopt birds that are older than two years of age because:
a] birds that die from the disease always contract it when babies or juveniles and always show symptoms before they get to that age so, if they are older than 2, they are over that stage.
b] by that age, the birds have developed their immune system completely and, in the remote possibility that something still remains in your home, the small amount of pathogen that could be left added to a strong immune system will mean the bird will not get sick.
