Blue-and-yellow budgie missing near Pullman Square
Description
I lost my blue-and-yellow budgie yesterday around 3pm near Pullman Square in downtown Huntington, Southern WV. He’s a small parakeet, about 6 inches from beak to tail, with a bright yellow face, blue body, and a green-tinged chest. He’s fairly tame and responds to the name 'Kiwi' when I call him. He wears a silver leg band with the number 247 on his left leg. I’ve had him for about five years, and he’s like family—we’re really worried when he’s not home. If you spot a bird perched around coffee shops or on power lines near the square, please message me here. I’d be incredibly grateful to bring 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.
