Blue-green budgie with yellow head, lost near River Walk
Description
I lost my blue-green budgie with a bright yellow head yesterday around 3pm after I left the cage door open while cleaning the kitchen. He darted toward the River Walk area near the Arneson River Theatre and La Villita, and I haven't seen him since. The bird is about the size of a sparrow, with a small red feather patch on the left wing and a white ring around his eye. He wears a tiny red leg band with the number 7, which should help identify him. This bird was a gift from my daughter, and it means a lot to me; I'm really worried and would be incredibly grateful if anyone spotted him and could bring 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.
