Description
Hi, I’m Malia Nakamura. I lost two pet birds yesterday evening in Waikiki. Around 6:15 PM I had them perched on a portable cage by the Duke Kahanamoku statue near Kuhio Beach when a gust of wind knocked the cage open and they flew away. They’re small avians: one is green with a bright yellow chest, the other blue with gray wings. I last saw them near the banyan trees along Kalakaua Avenue, by the Royal Hawaiian Center. I’m beside myself with worry and I’m hoping someone might have seen them around Kapiolani Park or along the Waikiki Beach path.

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.
