Lutino Cockatiel - All Yellow with orange cheek patches

Message from Owner

This is my bird named Benny gifted to me by my mother last summer 2025. He is an 8 month old Lutino cockatiel, all yellow with orange cheek patches. He has a slight reddish brown ring like stain on the back of his neck. He is half hand fed meaning he is not friendly to strangers and only allows myself and my husband to handle him and only calls back to us. Last seen Sunday 3/29/2026 around 11:00 am flying into a neighboring yard located at 2780 Caspian Ave, 90810. Owners of the are unfortunately not cooperative and “claim” to no have such bird on their property. To date however, we can still hear him call back to us when we pass by. His calls are very distinctive and not at all similar to other birds they own and have shown us. We are confident our bird is at this location but unfortunately when police came they covered him up and moved him so we could not hear him call back to us. 💔😔 Benny is more than just a pet to us he is our family. Not an “expensive bird” as the owners of 2780 Caspian described him to me. The fact that there are people like this in the world is disturbing. 😔 We are offering a $500 reward for Benny’s return or information that will help bring him back to us. Any information anyone has is greatly appreciated 🙏🏽 We love you and miss you so much Benny 💔🥺
