Lost Avians near the San Marcos River, downtown bridge.
Description
On Tuesday at around 8:15 PM, I lost Avians while strolling along the San Marcos River behind the downtown square. They’re two tiny birds, emerald-green with a splash of yellow on their wings, and they’ve been with me since I adopted them last spring. I keep picturing them perched by the lights near the Texas State University clock tower, or fluttering along the riverwalk in the glow of sunset, and it’s honestly terrifying to think they’re out there alone. If anyone saw two small birds in that area last night or this morning, please tell me through the site so I can 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.
