Lost green budgie with blue cheeks
Description
Yesterday around 3pm I was in the parking lot behind Brookshire Brothers on N. Timberland Dr in Lufkin, Deep East Texas, when my small green budgie slipped out of his cage. He is a bright lime-green bird with white on his head and blue patches on the cheeks, about the size of a can of soup. He also wears a tiny gold leg band labeled 27 on his left leg, which makes him easy to spot if you see him perched on a fence or a car. He has been with my family for years and is really loved--this little guy helps my daughter with anxiety, and we are really hoping to reunite soon. If you find him, email me at [email protected].

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.
