Blue budgie with yellow head found near Walmart
Description
I found a small blue budgie with a bright yellow head this afternoon around 2:15pm by the Walmart on Dowlen Road in Beaumont. It was perched on a car door handle, looking a bit spooked, fluttering between planters but staying nearby. The bird has white cheek patches, a red leg band with the code PA7, and a greenish belly patch. Its feathers were a little ruffled from the day, but it seemed otherwise healthy. I kept it in a tote bag in my car for safety and planned to take it to a local pet shop if no owner shows up. If this is your bird, email me at [email protected] to arrange a safe handoff.

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.
