i dont have any lovibirds.. but i do know they have some what of a reputation for being nippy...
he/she is still a baby so you should be able to get it out of his/her system..
do you over react everytime you get bitten.. like a big "ouch" or any sound at all that might make it seem exciting and fun for the bird to actually bite you..
i would try reinforcing him when he doesn bite.. you know.. praise him when he lets go of your hand with a treat.. treat him everytime hes just being nice to you.. you could also try target stick training.. it will be a little hard but it will teach your lovie what he can bite.. and what he can beak..
for example.. you put a stick infront of him.. he bites it.. you dont react.. if he lets go and just rubs his beak against it you say "good boy!!!".. and treat him.. he will learn that it is more appriciated to just touch with the beak than to bite..
that would be my appraoch anyway.. hope someone else who actaully knows lovies will give you better advice :).. good luck..
