With a parrot you're basically dealing with a wild animal who doesn't particularly understand (or care) that biting hurts you. They bite at each other all the time in the wild and just get a beakfull of feathers. The whole skin concept is new to them.
These guys can be the most loving and affectionate companions, but there's always an element of risk if they get startled or upset. I'm thinking of getting a T-shirt made that says "Proud Parrot Owner -- ask me about my band-aids"
