Blue budgie with yellow head, lost near Woodstock
Description
I’m really worried—yesterday around 3pm I realized my budgie had slipped out during a quick break from cleaning the aviary. He’s a small parakeet, sky-blue body with a bright yellow head, white cheeks, and a lilac tail, about the size of a sparrow. He wears a tiny pink leg band with 'AK-42' engraved and there’s a small white patch on his left wing that looks a bit like a heart. I last saw him around the Woodstock Village Green on Tinker Street, near the Woodstock Farmers Market, but he’s likely flown toward the hills around the Catskill forests. This bird is a gift from my grandmother and really means a lot to me—please help me 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.
