I must taste good.

So... anyone have THIS problem?
Busey likes to bite. And it's not that annoyed nip you get sometimes when you ask him to step up and he doesn't want to, it's more like an EATING bite.
He'll just fly up and walk up to my arm and lick it and then bite it. Like it's the best food in the world.
At first I thought it was my tattoos and he was trying to remove them, but he does it on "blank" spaces too.
And he can't be deterred. A stern "no" stops him - for about a minute.
I push back when he does it, but he'll just come back.
Yes, Busey is not one of those trustworthy shoulder birds either. Ears must be sought out and eaten!
And he gets plenty of food (maybe too much) - pellets and some seeds and fresh sprouts and vegetables and fruits...
I just don't get it.
It's more of an annoyance than a problem, but it's just weird that he tries to eat me.
Anyone else have a human-eating bird?
