Parrots in the wild act like that. Its instinctual behavior that is hard to break. Usually though its displaced biting that occures more often with regards to someone the bird does NOT like as opposed to someone he does. More often if the "birds person" is with the bird and someone walks into the room the bird does NOT like he will often bite the one he is with. Its the same way a mate will act in the wild. He will bite his mate to aggressivly shoo her away from the percieved danger. In this case your bird seems to have chosen your daughter and the only thing I can figure is He takes what he can "with you or others" until his "true love" walks in. Punishment will most probably make it worse as birds do not take punishment well at all. I will suggest reading some of Mattie Sue Athens books on behavior. I have a feeling you will have to go with the flow on this one and learn to put the bird on a perch or on his cage before she is in the room or house or as soon as you know she is. Its one of those quirky bird things.
