Lost terrariums in Omaha / Council Bluffs

Saturday at 11:15 AM, I realized my terrariums were missing from the back seat as I left the Old Market in downtown Omaha. They’re small glass jars with sprouting moss and tiny succulents, wrapped in twine with a little sticker. I wandered along the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge toward the river, then into Council Bluffs, hoping to spot them, but the morning went quiet without them. They aren’t just decorations to me—they’re memories of a friend, and I’d be grateful to have them back. If you’ve seen them or picked them up, please know they’re cherished.

Lost Hamsters in Omaha-Council Bluffs

I lost my hamsters this morning around 9:15 AM in the Old Market area of downtown Omaha. They slipped from their cage in my backpack as I stopped for coffee on 12th Street near Howard Street; I spotted them for a second by a bench, then they darted. They’re tiny grey fluffballs named Peanut and Noodle, and I’m terrified they’ve wandered into a drain or a hidden corner. I’m hoping a kind reader can help bring them home.

Grey cockatiel with yellow crest and orange cheeks

I’m missing my grey cockatiel, Sunny. Yesterday around 3pm, he slipped from his travel cage while I was loading up near the Benson Park entrance around 60th Street and Maple in Omaha. He’s a small bird, about 12 inches from beak to tail, with a bright yellow crest and orange cheek patches. He wears a slender red leg band with the numbers A12 and there’s a tiny white patch on his left wing that’s easy to spot in flight. He’s usually very friendly and loves chatty songs, and he’s been part of our family for almost two years. I’m really hoping someone heard a soft chirp and can help bring him home.
