Description
Yesterday around 3pm I lost my blue parakeet with a yellow chest near the Augusta Mall on Wrightsboro Road. He's about 7 inches long, with cobalt-blue feathers and a bright yellow patch on his chest, and he wears a small green leg band marked 'FP'. One tail feather is a bit longer from a past molt, which makes him easy to identify. He's really outgoing and answers to the name Pico; this bird means a lot to me, it's a rescue from a few years ago, so I'm worried I won't see him again. If you spot him, text me right away.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
