Green Amazon parrot with red tail feather
Description
I lost my green Amazon parrot yesterday around 4pm. It flew off from my balcony near Bayside Marketplace on Biscayne Boulevard in downtown Miami. The bird is about 12 inches long, vivid emerald green with a bright red tail and a tiny blue patch on the left wing. It wears a slim white leg band with the code A714. It is healthy and chatty, often mimicking 'hello' and the ice-cream truck jingle. This bird is a family member and has sentimental value—it was a gift from my grandmother, so I really need it back. If you see him, please text or call 305-555-0123; I’ll be forever grateful.

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.
