Blue-yellow budgie with white face, missing
Description
I'm really worried about my blue-yellow budgie. Yesterday around 3pm, he slipped out of his cage when I opened the window by the library on Hardy Street near the USM campus in Hattiesburg. He's tiny, about the size of a soda can, with a bright blue body, yellow belly, and a white face. There's a small red leg band with the number 42 on his right leg, and you can spot a small white patch on his left wing when he preens. He's usually super friendly and chatty, and he loves millet spray; he's been part of my life for years, so this is really stressing me out. If anyone spots him, please message me through the site — I’d be forever grateful to 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.
