They didnt say to pull away from bites - they said to "avoid" that means dont put yourself in a position to be injured by a bite. In order to teach my Cockatoo that biting did no good was to have my hand (or finger) protected so the bite did not hurt me and then to persist in my training. She no longer bites, ever, (not saying she wont try it one day, she is in fact an animal) but she had to learnt hat it didnt work at all.
