Usually I'm able to be okay with naughty little Cream's biting, since usually it seems to be provoked (regardless of whether or not I was aware of it at the time). For example, he might bite while he's sitting on the laptop while I have to type something, or when he's getting territorial around the fish tank (his favourite place). But I think he's getting a bit too aggressive.
This morning, he attacked my finger completely unprovoked (seemingly). I was using my mouse, about 1 ft away from my laptop, where he was sitting. He got up and bit me completely unexpectedly! I think he wanted to chew on the wire, but that's the only thing I can think of.
I usually let him do what he wants to do, under my supervision of course. I think he's a bit pampered. He gets at least 1 hour of out-of-cage time a day, usually around 2 hours though, because he's let out in the morning and when I get home from work. He also has a fairly large cage with toys that he does sometimes play with (although he much prefers the forager toys).
Information: He's a peach-faced and he's about 2 years old. I've had him since mid-June. He will step up onto my hand with the proper gestures, but that's as far training has gone with him. His cage I want to say is about 18-24 inches high, 18-24 inches wide (eye-ball estimate), and 30 inches long, and he is housed by himself. Every day when I leave I turn on the TV for him so he doesn't get bored. He's also extremely chirpy and active.
He's a bird with a lot of 'tude, and I like his 'tude, but I wish he was a little less bitey. I love him very much though. Is there any advice you can give?

sounds like stretching as well to me now that you explain it better.
