Found green budgie with yellow head near Louisville riverfront
Description
I found a small green budgie this afternoon around 3:45pm behind the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory near Fourth Street Live in downtown Louisville. It's a bright green body, yellow head, and blue patches on the cheeks, about 6-7 inches from beak to tail. There's a tiny silver leg band on the right leg with the code 23A. It seems healthy, chirping when I spoke to it and steady on my finger. I picked it up from a bench near the riverfront after a quick chase through the wind. If this bird belongs to you, I’d love to help get it back—I’m happy to meet in a public spot in Louisville to return it.

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.
