Lost Avians in Lubbock, Texas
Description
At 8:45 a.m. today, my Avians vanished from the back porch near the Buddy Holly Center in Lubbock. Two small parrots, one with a blue tint on the wings and another with a yellow crest, were perched on a stand when a breeze slipped the door open. I’ve retraced streets around 19th Street and Mackenzie Park, calling softly and listening for a chirp, but so far there’s nothing but the morning traffic. I’m heartbreakingly anxious, because these aren’t just pets—they’re part of my daily life and my little family. If you spot them, please know I’m counting the minutes until I can bring them back home to Lubbock, Texas.

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.
