Description
I found a bright green budgie this afternoon around 3:45pm outside the Mall at Turtle Creek in Jonesboro. It hopped up onto my shoe and then perched on the bench by the bookstore, chirping softly as if used to people. It has a yellow face, blue-tipped tail feathers, and a tiny stainless steel leg band engraved 'AR-12' on its left leg. I know someone is probably missing this little guy and would be heartened to be reunited—if this is yours, send me a note here with details about the bird or the band, and we can meet near the parking lot by the food court.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
