Green parakeet with blue tail found
Description
I found a green parakeet this afternoon around 2:45pm near the Columbia Center Mall in Kennewick, right outside the food court entrance. It's a small-to-mid-sized bird, mostly lime green with a bright yellow head and a cobalt blue tail that really catches the eye. There’s a tiny red leg band on the right leg labeled 'L4'—could be a breeder tag or something similar. The bird seems healthy and friendly, chirping softly when I approached, and it perched on my finger for a moment before hopping to the railing. I know how much a pet can mean to someone, so if this is your bird, please reach out so we can arrange a safe reunion.

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.
