Description
Hey there, I lost my green budgie yesterday around 3pm. It’s a small parakeet with a bright yellow head and blue cheek patches, and it wears a tiny red leg band with the number 4. I last saw him near the Santa Maria Public Library on Broadway, outside the cafe area by the bus stop. He’s very tame and tends to come when I call 'Kiko,' so I’m really hoping someone can help. This little guy means the world to me—he was a gift from my sister and has been part of the family for years. If you’ve seen him or picked him up, please help me 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.
