Description
I found a small blue budgie this afternoon around 3:15pm behind the Battle Creek Public Library on West Michigan Avenue, tucked near the benches by the coffee shop. He’s got a pale yellow patch on his cheeks, a white neck ring, and a pink leg band with the numbers 7-4-2. The little guy is in good shape, feathers clean, no visible injuries, and he chirps when I talk to him. I’d really like to reunite him with his owner—if you’re missing a blue budgie with those features, please reach out and I’ll bring him over.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
