Description
Found a bright blue budgie this afternoon around 4pm near the Salem Public Library on Church Street. It's a small parakeet, about palm-sized, with cobalt-blue feathers, white wing patches, a yellow beak, and a green plastic leg band engraved with 'SA'. The bird seemed hungry and a bit skittish, so I kept it in a small travel carrier while I try to locate the owner. If this is yours, please message me with details like the leg band letters or a distinguishing mark on the wing so we can reunite you quickly.

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.
