Ouch. Parakeets are vicious biters - they've got some kind of collective subconscious that tells them exactly where it will hurt most, generally the quick of your nails, as I know to my cost. It sounds like you've got the situation under control now, but if you ever need to catch a bird again, I recommend finding a large piece of fabric, preferably in a dark colour (towels or sheets are good, but I've used a coat before) and throwing that over the escapee. It means you don't have to aim quite so accurately at the small fluttery thing, plus most birds will sit still because of the surprise and sudden darkness, and they can't bite you so well either.
