Green budgie with yellow head, lost near Walmart

Yesterday around 6pm I lost my little green budgie near the Walmart on Timberland Drive in Lufkin, Deep East Texas. He's a small parakeet with a bright yellow head, emerald body, and a blue patch on his cheeks. He wears a tiny red plastic leg band with the number 12-XL and one tail feather is a little bent—easy to spot if you know what to look for. This bird is incredibly important to my family, and I am really hoping to bring him back safe.

Lost tan and white dog with red collar

I lost my dog yesterday around 3pm. He's a tan and white medium-sized rescue mix named Scout. We were near the Brookshire Brothers on Main Street in Nacogdoches, Deep East Texas, when he slipped from his leash and bolted. He has a small white heart-shaped patch on his chest and one ear that's slightly folded; he wears a red collar with a metal tag that has my phone number. This dog means the world to me and I’d be incredibly grateful to bring him home soon.

Lost green budgie with blue cheeks

Yesterday around 3pm I was in the parking lot behind Brookshire Brothers on N. Timberland Dr in Lufkin, Deep East Texas, when my small green budgie slipped out of his cage. He is a bright lime-green bird with white on his head and blue patches on the cheeks, about the size of a can of soup. He also wears a tiny gold leg band labeled 27 on his left leg, which makes him easy to spot if you see him perched on a fence or a car. He has been with my family for years and is really loved--this little guy helps my daughter with anxiety, and we are really hoping to reunite soon. If you find him, email me at [email protected].

Tiny blue parakeet with orange cheeks, lost

I lost my tiny blue parakeet named Sunny yesterday around 3pm. He's about 6 inches from beak to tail, cobalt blue with orange cheeks, and a white ring around his right leg; one tail feather is a bit frayed. I last saw him fluttering toward the street near the library on Main Street in downtown Nacogdoches, Deep East Texas, and I called him, but he vanished into the trees by the storefronts. Sunny was a shelter rescue and means a lot to me—he's bright, curious, and really lightens my days. If anyone spots him, please text me here or call, and I'll grab him right away.
