Lost Avians in Texoma, Texas
Description
At 11:15 a.m. Saturday I was cleaning the aviary on the porch of my rental near Lake Texoma when the cage door slipped and my Avians darted into the morning air. There are two small birds: one blue-and-yellow parakeet and one lime-green budgie with a shy expression; they’re lively and chatty, and I already miss their calls. I walked the shoreline behind Lake Texoma Marina and along the Denison Dam overlook, calling their names, but the wind carried my voice away. If you spotted them anywhere in the Texoma area, please give the site a heads-up; I’d be grateful to have them 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.
