Description
I lost my cockatiel yesterday around 3pm. He's gray with a bright yellow crest and orange cheeks, about the size of a soda can, and he loves perching on my shoulder. He wears a blue leg band with the code A12 and has a small white feather patch on his left wing. Last seen near the Starbucks at the Park Road Shopping Center in Charlotte, he flew toward the trees by Queens Road. This bird was a gift from my grandma and means a lot to me—I'm really worried he's out there; email [email protected] if you've seen him.

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.
