Description
I woke up this morning to find my two parrots gone from our sunroom, and I’m sick with worry. It was around 7:15 a.m. when I last saw them perched on their stand near the back door in our Dubuque home, by the riverfront, and I’m worried they slipped out while I was bringing in groceries. The green one with a yellow patch and the blue one with orange around the beak are friendly and chatty, and they respond to my whistle. I’ve walked along the riverwalk by Dubuque's Seymour Park calling their names, praying they’re somewhere safe and not scared. Please bring them home.

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.
