Decades ago my Grandmom's parakeet "Peepers" escaped to the outside.
This was during the winter.
Two days later the dumb bird was found on the front walkway, frozen dead.
It was probably flying around the outside of the house looking for a way back in -
where it would not be in dander of freezing to death.
Rest in peace Mr. Peepers.
