Blue budgie with yellow belly, red leg band MB-12
Description
I lost my blue budgie yesterday around 3pm near the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, along Ocean Boulevard by the SkyWheel. He's a small parakeet, about 5 inches long, bright blue with a yellow belly and a white ring around his eye. He wears a tiny red leg band with the inscription MB-12. He’s friendly and chatty, usually perches on my shoulder and chirps back when I talk to him. This bird means a lot to my family—my daughter picked him out and he's been a source of comfort since we moved to Myrtle Beach. If anyone spots him, please message me in the app; I’d really appreciate bringing him home!

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.
