Oh man.
I am so, so sorry. My heart bleeds for you and I am in tears for you because I know EXACTLY what you're going through right now. I lost my beloved Tiki a few months ago, who flew from the home due to a freak accident. I never spotted her, or found her despite exhaustive days of searching and hiking the area for weeks, as well as countless fliers and newspaper ads -- the works, I tried it all. My bird was gone, as I believe she kept flying and flying, although a pet psychic told me someone has her.
The good news is that there's a good possibility he is still alive, also that you spotted your bird and he is likely in the area still. Birds follow the sun -- at sunrise and sunset look for him. Grab a bag of his favorite treats. Yell calls or words that he knows. But don't give up looking for him. It's only been two weeks, there's still a chance you will find him! Someone could also have him, so I would request running an ad in the local paper. Check Craigslist to see if someone has your bird and is trying to sell him -- this was wise advise given to me by a man who works with bird rescue. Check with local animal control as well.
Pajarita is absolutely right, parrots911 is excellent resource, also contact your local Exotic Bird Rescue and see if they can post a notice on their website. If you can get local news stations to run a story on your bird, do it! I knew a girl who lost her cockatiel around the time that I lost Tiki, and it was on the local news.
Furthermore, I can recommend the pet psychic, who does readings for free -- PM me and I'll give you her email address.
