Green budgie with yellow head and leg band

I lost my green budgie with a bright yellow head yesterday around 3:15pm near the Walmart on Oxford Street in Worthington. He's tiny, about the size of a canary, with green feathers and a sunny yellow crown. There’s a red plastic leg band with the number 42 on his right leg, and a small feather scar under his left wing from a brush with a window. He’s been a real joy for my family, especially my daughter, and he has sentimental value. If you’ve seen him, I’d really appreciate getting him back, and I can meet you at the Walmart entrance or at my apartment on East Second Street.
