Blue-green budgie with yellow belly, missing near Brainerd Library
Description
I lost my blue-green budgie Milo yesterday around 3pm near the Brainerd Public Library on Willow Street. He’s a small parakeet about 6 inches tall, mostly blue-green with a sunny yellow belly and a tiny white patch on his right wing. He wears a blue leg band with the number 12 etched on it and has a tiny star-shaped clip on his tail feathers that glitters when the sun hits him. He’s very friendly and responds to his name, and my daughter is heartbroken; Milo has been part of our family for years. If anyone spotted him fluttering around the library or the nearby parks, please let me know. I’d be incredibly grateful to get him back.

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.
