Parakeet can refer to many different species of small parrot, some of which are blue. If you are from the U.S., the most common species that is called a parakeet is the budgerigar, which has many color mutations that appear blue. If the bird being sold is less than $40 it is probably a budgerigar. Other possibilities that are common in the pet trade are Quaker/Monk parakeets (Myiopsitta monachus) and Alexandrine parakeets (Psittacula eupatria). In both cases, if the bird looks blue it is a color mutation and not the natural wild color.
