Description
I lost my cockatiel Pico yesterday around 3pm after a gust knocked him from my shoulder near the Florence-Lauderdale Public Library on Court Street. He's a small olive-green bird with orange cheeks, and he wears a tiny red leg band that says 'PICO' on it. He’s friendly but a bit skittish around strangers, so he might be hiding in trees or bushes near River Heritage Park. Pico means the world to me—I've had him since last year and he brightens my days; I really need him back. If you see him or hear anything, message me here and I can meet you to check quickly.

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.
