Lovebirds are really nippy. The situation described was what I faced when I used to have Kiki years ago. Although it doesn't tear the skin with what amazon did, but a lovebird nip does make cry out of pain!
Usually if i handle jer i always had one of his fav toy in my pocket or a target stick with me. Whenever she start to nip hard on my hand and fingers, i will put out the toy so the bite will be diverted on to toy. That's one method that I used to free myself instantly from her bite.
The other way that I used was with the target stick. If your bird is target trained with a stick like Kiki, you can it. Whenever she start biting hard on my finger i will use to the target stick to lead him to other location, so to free myself from the bite. Kiki is well target-trained with the stick, whenever the stick is showed in front of him and point to other location he will follow. With this technique, it's one great way to divert the bite away without forcefully pull him out of the bite.
