Yes, but...
Peach-faced lovebirds have been established in Phoenix, Arizona, for over
thirty years. They have been added to the state list and the ABA list.
Now, 500 miles is a long way, esp. for a very non-migratory species, And
the birds are not showing up near to Phoenix in an expansion pattern.
Further thoughts from Cobirders?

There is a group called the Gabriel foundation who helps rescue escaped domestic birds. Their number is 303-629-5900. I'm not sure if they'll help you catch it, but I think they give you ideas about how to capture the bird so it can be brought in. They will then take care of the bird.
Good luck

Hi All:
Just when I was getting settled into the post-migration letdown, I spotted a bird in our backyard that had me running for the camera. The bird was a Peach-faced Lovebird and Lisa, me and the gals got great looks and photos. This bird, as I have since found out, is native to Africa. So I’m sure this is an escape, but it sure brought some excitement today. We emailed a friend who has pet birds locally, but they reported no escapes. But someone must have lost this bird.
It is hanging out near our chicken pen, where I put scratch grains. Its still out there making its harsh chip calls from its perch in then shaded trees. Will monitor it and see how long it stays around....Isn’t that wild!
