This is all great advice, and I have nothing to add but just my best wishes for you. Let us all know his progress!
I agree with Scott 100%. As to his bites, I think he might do it as a warning to you. I also think that maybe your moving his stick when he looks as if he is going to bite you might not be making things better (it's kind of like fulfilling his prophecy and justifying his continuing with the bites). Why don't you try putting on a very thick (or two, one on top of another) oven mitt? It would prevent his bite from hurting you and would eliminate the 'wobbly' stick.
He stepped up willingly, no biting, asked for a lot of head scratches, allowed me to rub his beak, and his toes....he's very different. Maybe he has learned to trust me, maybe he was a little insecure with his new surroundings??? but I'm "tickled pink!!!"
