Lost Parrots in Athens, OH near Court Street

I was walking through downtown Athens this evening around 6:45 PM with my two parrots perched on my shoulder when a gust of wind snatched their leash and they flew loose near Court Street by the Athens Market. The two parrots, one mostly green with a bright yellow chest and the other a blue-green with a red face, are very tame but quick to hide when they're scared. I am terrified they'll be frightened and get far away, because I would lose track of them around the Ohio University campus area. If you spot two colorful birds hopping near storefronts or resting on a streetlight by Court Street, please help me reunite them with their home.

Found pocket watch in Athens

Today at 2:30 PM, I found a pocket watch resting on a bench outside the Kennedy Museum of Art on Court Street in Athens. It is a gold-case piece with a slim chain and initials engraved on the back that look like J.H. I tucked it into my jacket pocket and brought it home, hoping the owner will recognize it and come forward. The watch shines a little when the sun hits the dial, and I would be glad to see it reunited with someone who understands its story.

Lost saxophones near Ohio University campus, Athens

Hi, I'm Daniel Brooks. I was finishing a rehearsal around 7:15 p.m. on Court Street near Nelson Hall when I realized my two saxophones were missing from my gig bag on the Ohio University campus in Athens, Ohio, United States. One is a silver alto with a dent by the bell, the other a gold-tone tenor with a small scratch along a front rod. They're essential for my senior recital, and I'm hoping someone found them and kept them safe until I can reclaim them.

Lost coins in Athens

On Court Street outside Mario's Café on Tuesday at about 3:15 p.m., I realized a small leather pouch containing coins was lost from my pocket. The pouch held several family coins and a few sentimental keepsakes, and I felt a jolt of panic and worry. I retraced my steps around the storefronts, asked a few pedestrians, and checked the benches, but the coins haven’t turned up yet. I’m posting here in case a kind neighbor found the pouch and kept it safe. If you’re reading this, I’d be grateful to recover it.

Lost dog near Court Street, Athens OH

I lost my dog, a beagle mix named Pico, around 8:15 PM on Tuesday near Court Street by Nelson Hall and the Athens Farmers Market. We had just finished a walk along College Green when a car horn startled him and he bolted toward the bike path behind Nelson Hall. He's tan with white patches and wears a red collar with a blue tag, and I can't stop thinking about him and hoping someone spotted him and kept him safe.

Lost utensils on Court Street, Athens

I lost my utensils on a busy Friday afternoon in Athens, Ohio. Around 2:35 p.m. I was on Court Street, near the Athens Farmers Market, chatting with a friend and juggling a bag of groceries when I realized they were missing. I might have left them on a metal table outside a cafe, somewhere between Court Street coffee shop and the steps of the Baker Center. It may seem small, but those utensils are essential for my cooking routine this week, and the whole thing is a real hassle. If someone has them, I’d be so grateful to have them returned through the site.
