Two possibilities spring immediately to mind. One is to walk with a suitable distraction. A bird-safe chewable item small enough to fit in the palm of your hand would be ideal. Like an untreated wooden clothes pin. Or a suitably long Lego block. And when he goes after your hand, intercept the bite with the chosen "distractor". Most times, the bird will get so caught up in biting the distraction that he'll forget about his desire to munch on you. (At least long enough for you to get him into the cage.)
2nd option is to use a stick to return him to his cage.
