LOST: Breeds in Elmira-Corning, NY

Hi, I'm Emily Carter. I realized at 7:30 PM last Friday that my folder labeled Breeds was missing from my tote as I walked out of the Arnot Mall parking lot in Elmira-Corning. Inside were notes and photos for a dog-breeds study I’ve been compiling for months, and losing it feels personal and urgent. I retraced steps along the mall sidewalks, checked the coffee shop benches, and questioned a couple of security guards, but the item didn’t surface. I’m holding onto hope that someone who finds it will see this and bring it back to the correct owner; it would mean everything to me.

Gray cockatiel with yellow crest, lost yesterday

I lost my gray cockatiel yesterday around 3:00pm near Water Street by Riverside Park in Elmira-Corning. It's a mature male, about 12 inches from beak to tail, with a bright yellow crest and orange cheek patches. The body is mainly gray with white-tipped tail feathers, and one of the left wing feathers has a tiny white feather that sticks out a bit more than the rest. He typically perches on my shoulder and answers to the name 'Sunny' when I whistle. This bird has sentimental value — he's been with me since last year and helped me through some tough times. If anyone sees him in the trees around Corning's Market Street or Elmira's Water Street, or hears a cheerful chirp, please contact me. I’m really worried and would be forever grateful to get him back.
