Found this morning around 11am on the sidewalk outside the Canalside entrance on Main Street in Buffalo.

Yellow cockatiel with gray wings, leg band
I found a yellow cockatiel this afternoon around 4pm in Buffalo, NY, near the Elmwood Village bakery on Bidwell Parkway. It's a medium bird, bright yellow with gray wings and a white face, about the size of a small pigeon, and it has a tiny red leg band marked with 'A12'. The bird seemed a bit stressed but curious, and I kept a gentle hold while I looked for an owner nearby. I brought it to the Buffalo Humane Society as a safe step, but I wanted to post here in case the owner recognizes it by the leg band. If it's yours, describe the leg band number and any unique marks, like a blue feather on the tail.

Found a limited edition blue vinyl LP this afternoon around 4pm in the Canalside courtyard area behind the Erie Canal in Buffalo.

The label on the disc reads 'Columbia Special Products' and there’s a faint 'Promo Copy' stamp on the back. It’s clearly a collector’s item; I can tell someone spent time building this set, and it looks like it hasn’t seen much play. If this sounds like yours, I’d love to help get it back to you—posted here to reunite it with its rightful owner.

If you're the owner, tell me the initials on the tag or the color of the drawstrings, and we can arrange a meetup to return it.

I lost my black Sony WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones yesterday around 3pm. They were tucked in a soft gray carrying case, with a small dent on the left earcup and a blue sticker with my initials PP inside. I had them in my backpack when I stopped at the Starbucks on Main Street in Buffalo's Cobblestone District to grab a refill, and I must’ve set them down there.

Golden retriever near Canalside with pink heart tag
I lost my golden retriever Maya yesterday around 3pm near Canalside along Erie Street in Buffalo. She's medium-sized, about 60 pounds, with a light gold coat and a small white blaze on her chest. She wears a bright pink collar with a heart-shaped tag that says 'Maya', and a slightly frayed blue rope leash. She's incredibly friendly and tends to wag hard when she spots people, but loud noises scare her. This dog is more than a pet to me; she is my emotional support and my family. If anyone sees her, please text or call; I can verify her left-ear scar and the star-shaped patch on her right paw.
Gold-tone bracelet with KP heart charm
I lost my gold-tone charm bracelet yesterday around 3pm near the coffee shop on Delaware Ave in Buffalo's Elmwood Village.

The fabric is lightweight mesh, a bit pilled from wear, with a faint snag along the bottom hem. These shorts have sentimental value because they accompanied me through my first 5K, and I really need them back.

I lost my white quilted duvet cover from the CozyNest line yesterday around 3pm. It’s a queen-size, made of a soft cotton-poly blend, and it’s pristine white with a light gray piping along all four edges. There’s a tiny monogram 'KP' stitched in dark gray on the bottom-right corner, plus a faint lavender-scent from my laundry detergent. I last had it outside the Pan American Bakery on Hertel Avenue near the North Park Theatre in Buffalo after grabbing a coffee. It holds sentimental value—it was a gift from my grandmother, and I’d really appreciate getting it back. If you found it, email [email protected].
Blue Ventolin inhaler in gray case
I lost my Ventolin inhaler yesterday around 3pm near the corner of Elmwood Ave and Allen Street in Buffalo.

It’s in a black-and-yellow hard case with a bright red label on the lid that has the initials 'PP'. Inside the case there’s a small blue drill bit set and the charger. The drill itself has a tiny dent on the battery housing and the rubber grip is a bit worn from years of use. This tool is my go-to for home repairs and it would mean a lot to get it back.
Gold-tone alto sax in black hard case
I found a gold-tone alto saxophone this afternoon around 3:15pm near the steps of the Buffalo Central Library on Lafayette Square. It’s in a black hard case with a blue neck strap, and there’s a small engraving 'K.R.' on the bell plus a dent along the rim from a bump or two. The lacquer is a little worn, and the keys feel responsive when I test them, with a couple of reeds tucked inside the mouthpiece cap.

If this sounds like yours, send me a message here with identifying details so we can verify and meet in a safe downtown spot.

Last seen near the corner of Hertel Ave and Delaware Ave in Buffalo, NY, outside a small pet shop and a coffee spot where I was calling his name.

Found orange tabby near Canalside, Buffalo
I found a cat this afternoon around 4:15pm wandering near the Canalside area along the Erie Canal in Buffalo. It's a medium-sized orange tabby with white paws and a white bib, wearing a bright red collar with a tiny bell. The fur is a bit matted from who-knows-how-long outside, and the cat looked hungry but friendly, curling up beside me when I spoke softly. There's a distinct white heart-shaped patch on its chest and a small black speck on the tip of one ear—easy to spot if you know your cat's quirks. If this could be your cat, reach out and we'll arrange a meetup.
Green-yellow budgie with blue tail found near Canalside
I found a small green-yellow budgie this afternoon around 4pm near the Canalside boardwalk by HarborCenter in Buffalo. It's a compact bird, about the size of a fist, with a vibrant green body, yellow chest, and a striking blue tail that stands out when it flits around the railing. It has a blue leg band with tiny white letters that look like 'BUC-12', and a small white patch on its left wing. The bird seems friendly and chirpy when I spoke to it, so I gave it some water and let it perch on my finger for a minute. If this is yours, email me at [email protected] with the band code and any distinguishing marks so we can reunite you quickly.
