Found avians near Hyannis Harbor, Cape Cod
Description
I was walking along the Hyannis harbor on Cape Cod this morning around 9:10 a.m. when I heard a fluttering behind a cluster of boats. I found a small travel cage tucked beside a shed near the ferry dock, and inside were three avians—a bright blue parakeet, a yellow canary, and a shy brown cockatiel. They looked hungry but gentle, and they calmed when I spoke softly and offered seeds from my bag. I’ve kept them safe on my porch and am hoping to reconnect them with their owner soon. They’re clearly someone’s pets, not wild birds. If these birds belong to you, please reach out through the site so we can reunite them.

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.
