Green Amazon parrot with red tail feather

I lost my green Amazon parrot yesterday around 4pm. It flew off from my balcony near Bayside Marketplace on Biscayne Boulevard in downtown Miami. The bird is about 12 inches long, vivid emerald green with a bright red tail and a tiny blue patch on the left wing. It wears a slim white leg band with the code A714. It is healthy and chatty, often mimicking 'hello' and the ice-cream truck jingle. This bird is a family member and has sentimental value—it was a gift from my grandmother, so I really need it back. If you see him, please text or call 305-555-0123; I’ll be forever grateful.

Blue Ruffwear harness with lime trim and paw patch

I lost my blue Ruffwear Front Range harness (size medium) with lime-green trim yesterday around 3pm near Lummus Park on Ocean Drive in South Beach. It’s the everyday harness my dog Milo wears on our strolls; there’s a small, reflective paw-print patch on the back and a tiny fray on the left chest strap where the stitching is coming loose. Inside the label, there’s a dog tag engraved with 'MILO' and my contact number. This harness has sentimental value—Milo learned leash manners with it, and I’m really hoping to find it soon.

Lost white mini Rex rabbit named Bun Bun with a black spot on right ear in Miami neighborhood.

I lost my pet rabbit, a soft, white mini Rex, around my neighborhood last night. He goes by the name 'Bun Bun' and has a little black spot on his right ear. He might be hiding under bushes or hopping around in someone’s yard. He’s very friendly and used to being around people, so if you see him, please let me know. I’m really worried about him and want to bring him home.
