Emerald budgie with yellow head and leg band A12
Description
I lost my emerald-green budgie with a yellow head yesterday around 4:15pm near Falls Park on Main Street in Greenville. He’s about the size of a robin with blue tail feathers and a tiny silver leg band stamped A12 on his right leg. He’s named Pip and is very chatty, loves sunflower seeds, and responds when you call his name. I had him on my shoulder during a walk by the Reedy River near Eddy's Bakery when a gust fluttered him away, and I’m really hoping to get him back—this bird is all I’ve had since moving here. If you see a bird fitting this description around the Swamp Rabbit Trail or near the Peace Center, please reach out.

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.
