Yellow-green budgie with red leg band
Description
I lost my yellow-green budgie yesterday around 4:15pm. He's from PetSmart, about 6 inches long, with a bright green body and a yellow head; there’s a bit of feather wear on the tail from last week’s wind. We named him Sunny, and he’s been a real bright spot since we got him last summer. Last seen near the Brainerd Public Library on 2nd Street by the walking bridge over the Mississippi. He wears a red leg band and has a tiny blue patch on his left wing, and he responds to a whistle when I call his name. This bird is special to us—please reach out if you spot him; we’re really hoping to bring him home.

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.
