Looking for 2Br rental for next academic year (preferably starting August 1)

 My partner and I are hoping to find a place for rent in your great neighborhood - is anyone looking for two friendly smoke- and drama-free tenants, without pets? We're both academics; I'll be starting a new job in Boston and my partner will be on full-year sabbatical. We could provide plenty of references. Any tips or suggestions would be very welcome!

Found parakeet hopping around in traffic near Bway and Cedar. Had clipped wings, likely to get hit. Now carrying frightened parakeet in bucket. :( Knocked on doors w open windows but no luck. Animal cntrl closed till Monday. Halp!?

EDIT: got ahold of vet friend, who came by to assist. Unfortunately, turns out bird (which she says is actually a budgie) didn't have clipped wings, was just tired from the escape (and/or kinda dumb) when I caught it. So, errr.... it got out when she opened the bucket. :/. Good news is that vet says it'll be safe and healthy in this climate, so... enjoy your new budgie, neighborhood?

Seriously, sorry if it was yours. We tried. :/
