He doesn't necessarily "hate" your son... he just "loves" you!
(and gets jealous when your son comes around!)
Or he's protecting you from your son (so to speak) by
nipping you when he gets close.
That's how birds get other birds (and their babies) to move along
out of harms way or to be alert to a danger - they nip or gently peck at them.

It's not always correct to label all birds' actions according to
human emotions. Birds are still very much tied to their inborn
(wild) instincts.

And see? He's stepping up again and is already working through his
first little rebellious stage. :D Be prepared... there will be others! *LOL*
