Re: Bird ID
looks like a Peach Face Lovebird (Agapornis roseicollis).

Re: Bird ID
Looks healthy to me but I'm not a vet, and it also looks quite tame so you might want to ask any neighbors if they have lost their pet.

Re: Bird ID
Where do you live? If not Southern Africa, I'd say keep it at least to adopt out. If you are in the US, it's definitely a pet, and will likely die if it's released to the wild.

Re: Bird ID
Please don't let it go. If it' tame chances are someone is looking for it. Bring it to your local SPCA if you don't want it and post pics in your neighborhood, I bet someone is very sad about their lost lovebird.
