Baby Hahns Macaw biting

[NikkiandPickles]

Hi everyone,
I have recently added a 10 week old Hahns Macaw to my flock. She is currently in quarantine and very keen to get out of her cage whenever I open the door. She clearly wants to be on me, she flies to my shoulder from the cage or the stand. She happily sits on my hand and doesn’t appear to be afraid but she will get in my hand and if I don’t keep her occupied with food she will reach down and bite HARD. She does this every time she is on me. It doesn’t appear to be fear or aggression but I’m getting reluctant to handle her. She was supposedly hand raised but she doesn’t like being touched all that much.
Any pointers on how to versions this with the flesh still on my hands?
The long term goal is for her to be a companion to my 11 month old hahns (who is a smooshy little love bug).

I’m not sure shunning will work because she is very new to me, it’s only day 3 of her living with me. Doesn’t she need to be bonded to me first?

It may still work as she is so young and very reliant on you.
