Description
This afternoon around 4:10 PM, I found two parrots wandering near the duck pond at Riverside Park in Sioux City. They hopped from bench to bench, chirping and tilting their heads as people smiled at them. One parrot has a bright green body with blue wing feathers; the other is yellow with a red tail and a curious gaze. They didn't seem frightened, and I stayed with them for a while to see if anyone was calling for them. They look well cared for, and I figured they'd belong to someone nearby. I’ve posted this note in case the owner recognizes their companions.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
