I LostMyBird

How it works

Built for worried pet owners and kind strangers alike — no birding knowledge needed, and always free.

  1. 📷

    Step 1: Snap & describe

    Take a quick photo with your phone. Then pick colours, size and type using everyday comparisons — 'about the size of a soda can', 'green with a bit of orange'. If you have no idea what kind of bird it is, that's completely fine.

  2. 📍

    Step 2: Drop a pin

    Add where the bird was lost or found. Use the 'my location' button for a precise pin, or just type a city. This is what puts your report on the map for nearby people to see.

  3. 🗺️

    Step 3: Appear on the map

    Your report becomes a clickable dot. Anyone can filter the map by colour, size, type or location to find a match — and browse the live ticker of freshly found birds.

  4. 🤝

    Step 4: Connect directly

    When a lost and a found post line up, you reach out using the contact method on the listing. Verify ownership, meet somewhere public, and celebrate the reunion.
