Cincinnatians: have you seen this bird?

Matt Kelley, 23, but self-described younger at heart, met a pigeon last week and has been looking for it ever since.

Kelley, who lives in Over-the-Rhine, said the pair met near the post office downtown.

"It was something about his personality," said Kelley, laughing. "We really clicked."

According to Kelley the bird's name is Vine Street Betty.

Kelley said he put up multiple signs on Tuesday night. He called it a blanket marketing approach.

"The search got desperate," said Kelley about the signs.

There has been a lot of outreach to Kelley but so far it's only been false alarms.

Despite the close calls, Kelley remains hopeful about their reunion.

"He's around here somewhere," said Kelley.

It would appear that Kelley might have found inspiration from an internet meme showing similar signs in other cities.
