cant stop nibbling

Hi my irn loves to nibble on my hand or arm when im holding him. The nibble may turn in to a hard bite. I give him treats to distract him but he starts nibbling when he's finished it or may throw it away. Any tips on how to stop this

Re: train to talk

thanks for your responses i do spend time talkin to them n keep sayin the same words for a few minutes, but i find the irn to be a bit quite only here him in the mornings and when he has his afternoon nap, or when the two birds want the same thing, is that normal as the alexandrine screams allot.
