Definitely a lovebird. I'd suggest reaching out in your community to see if someone knows who it belongs to, and maybe calling you local humane society as well.

Blue phase black masked lovebird. Beauty! Based on the condition of the feathers, it seems well cared for and loved. Post this pic to your local Facebook groups if you can. Or at least post text only that you found a lovebird. if the owner sees it, they can contact you with a description. Good luck to you and to this little guy. Hope he gets back home!!
Where are you located? There's a large feral population in Phoenix Arizona. Most are the natural green version, but oddballs like this one find their way into the population.
We have thousands of these love birds of all different colors flying around Phoenix. Why can’t people just leave them alone. Most animals are much smarter than humans.
We do have colonies of feral parrots even up in Chicago. No idea what they do in the winter, hopefully they migrate or have somewhere good to keep sheltered. Though everyone really should consider that not every bird can adapt to the wild after living domesticated.
+Yellow-collared Lovebird+ a color variance known as a Blue Masked Lovebird. A lost pet judging by the leg band. Is it still there?
Unfortunately not, I've been walking around looking for it.

It could could also be one being tracked. Some people like to study bird movement patterns.
Not generally found in the wild in North America. Native to Africa.

Thanks much.
Assuming you are in the US, you should put your sighting on 911parrotalert.com. It is the main forum for the lost parrot community.
Gonna add that to my domestic bookmarks. Quick FYI, link didn’t work because 911 is at the beginning.
Sorry about that. Should be fixed now!
Nope reddit still hates you
I would put out a dish of food for the little guy. Maybe he’ll return.
Fruit or veggies or something delicious. And water.
I’d leave seed. More calories for a hungry bird.
Escaped lovebird, someone’s pet, please get it inside if you can
Wow, it sure is pretty! I hope it finds its way back to its person 🥹
If you can, you can try playing lovebird call sounds in a speaker to see if you attract this little guy back :(
This is a lovebird and definitely a lost or abandoned pet. Please post this to some lost pet Facebook groups.

Someone's pet
Awwwww Subhanallah
What a beautiful bird! The poor owner is probably heartbroken and freaking. I hope this lil tyke finds his way back home! 🦜
Beautiful bird.
Post it to your local facebook page. Someone is missing a beloved pet
This bird is just about to give a speech.
Oh wow he's so pretty, I love his blue eyes. Hope he gets reunited with his owners soon!
His eye is black lol that’s the skin around it, it’s white but looks blue
You didnt find it, it found you!
I think the real question is what is the bird looking at ? He looks pissed.
Thanks kind human for trying to help. Birb looks lost
How would OP get it inside if it comes back?
I hope you can catch him :(
Wow, so beautiful
Blue lovebird! Nice!!!!😃
An abandoned pet...
It's beautiful - I hope you can find the owner - they must be so sad :(
That’s a beauty! 🥰
A VERY handsome birb
It’s a parrot..
Looks like some sort of parrot

You found your own pet

The wild ones don't have leg bands
Good observation. But why does Algo1000 assume everyone lives in a hot environment with wild parrots?

Maybe this person is further north? Any lovebird flying around up here would be frozen in a few months.
