Blue-yellow budgie with leg band L-103
Description
I lost my blue-yellow budgie yesterday around 3pm after a window screen snagged and I was rushing out of my apartment on West Burnside Street in Portland, near Powell's City of Books. He's small, about the size of a canary, with a bright cobalt blue tail and a pale yellow chest; a silver leg band with 'L-103' on his left leg. He has one peculiar white patch on his left wing. He’s been part of our family for years and the moment he vanished I felt my heart drop—he’s incredibly friendly and chatty, so I’m worried he might be scared and perched nearby waiting to be called. If you spot him, please message me; I’d be forever grateful to have 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.
