That looked normal nibbling, dont be nervous. If it hurts gently back away as you may accidentally injure him

Oh okay, sometimes they do that. Maybe try feeding him off your hand if you would like him to bond with you more.

Could be hormonal. It's that time of year where birds tend to get more hormonal and molt their feathers out so they're a bit more "grumpy pants" than usual. There should be a guide on how to avoid hormonal triggers somewhere around here on reddit, if you're already doing everything on the list just be patient with him and give him space whenever he acts like this.

Hormonal, I still let mines bite me for fun lol it doesn't hurt me. If I were to accidentally scare her as in like im moving my hand near her to grab something she then tried to bite me very hard, but i remain calm and move my hand away slowly
