Was that a blue Indian Ringneck Parakeet??
I used to have one, and he was a fantastic bird. Lots of personality. I couldn't give him the attention that he required so he wasn't a very happy bird much of the time. The only time he stopped crying for me was if he were on my shoulder or somewhere near me. I loved him, but I found a good attentive home for him with a lady who had several birds and the time to devote to them.
They are beautiful birds, and you don't see them often.
