Found budgie with blue cheeks near Boston Public Garden
Description
I found this bright budgie this afternoon around 2:15pm while I was walking near the Boston Public Garden, outside the Beacon Street entrance by Arlington Street. It’s mostly lime-green with a sunny yellow head and tiny blue cheek patches that stand out in the sun. One leg has a small copper band engraved 'BH-12', and the tail feathers look a bit roughed from a recent flight. I’d hate for it to be lost for good—pets birds mean a lot, and I hope their owner sees this. If you’re the owner, please email me at [email protected] and we can arrange a meetup near the Public Garden or Common.

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.
