Found: Green parakeet with pink leg band near Monroe Library
Description
I found a small green parakeet this afternoon around 4pm in the parking lot behind the Monroe Public Library on Oak Street. It has a bright green body, yellow head, and a blue-tinted tail, and it wears a pink plastic leg band stamped with 'M-07'. The bird seemed healthy, chirpy, and surprisingly calm, hopping onto my finger for a moment before fluttering back to perch on a nearby sign. It looked clean and well-cared-for, not scared of people. I'm hoping to reunite it with its owner; if anyone recognizes this bird or knows who it belongs to, send me a note here and I'll hold onto it safely.

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.
