Found: Avians near Stillwater Library.
Description
At 4:30 p.m. last Thursday, I found a small group of Avians near the Stillwater Public Library on West 7th Avenue. They perched on a low railing, bright feathers flashing in the early evening light. One had a blue wing band; another chirped loudly, clearly hungry. They seemed well cared for and not distressed, which makes me think someone is missing them and is anxious to have them back. I left them accessible near the library entrance where anyone passing by could hear them, and I’ll let the site handle the rest. If this sounds like your birds, please contact through the site.

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.
