Well as it happens they actually weren't parakeets they were love birds and they were blue. One actually didn't eat the other that is just what my memory thought. The one that died broke its neck flying into the edge of the cage. We then gave away the leftover dinner and it escaped from its new owner and we don't know the truth to what happened to that one.
Their cage was next to the front window. The neighborhood cats would stalk by the window and see the birds so therefore we named them Dinner and Lunch.
