Description
Hey, I lost my blue-and-yellow budgie yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Main Street in Huntington Beach. Sky is a tiny parakeet, about 5 inches long, with a bright blue body, yellow head, white cheeks, and faint black wing bars. He wears an orange leg band on his right leg with the code A12. He’s very tame and loves chirping when I call his name. This bird means a lot to my family—it's sentimental and my daughter adores him. If anyone finds him, reach out here; we'd really appreciate getting him back.

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.
