Getting a parrot as a baby can potentially help you develop a better relationship with your bird. It also means that you can set boundaries early on and make sure that your bird never suffers abuse or neglect ( two things that can cause a parrot to be more likely to bite). However, there is absolutely no way to ensure that a parrot will never bite. A bird bites because they are scared or upset or they don’t like something. The best way to keep from being bitten is to learn to read your parrot’s body language and moods as well as what they like or don’t like, so that you can tell when they are likely to bite and avoid it. Bites are more often the owner’s fault than the bird’s. I hope you have many happy years with your parrot ❤️

As friend Jcas says, there is no way to 100% guarantee a parrot will never or rarely bite. Owning any parrot means there is always a chance of a bite. Heck my own Amazon, Salty, a very well-behaved parrot, will nip me occasionally because I ignored his body language telling me to BACK OFF!

Sorry but this made me smile. Parrots bite? Why else did I opt for Syd with his little beak? I have said this many times but the best bite is the one avoided. Syd was brilliant when I first had him at 14 weeks hand reared. He was pretty gentle bearing in mind that all his exploration like a baby went to his mouth. Then he hit puberty and there was no discussion. Any available area of skin came under attack.
Fortunately the folk here had sympathy and help and with the aid of gloves, scarf and even hats/hoods I survived. More to the point so did Syd. For a while there it was touch and go, but we both got through those unhappy days and now he will open his beak wide and get a glint in his eye if something is not to his liking but a quick 'no biting' from me and he thinks better of it.

The difference of course is that at present it's all theoretical so it is hard to imagine how much you will fall in love with your feather ball once you have him and a big part of love is forgiveness. Those occasional bite mishaps will be much more bearable when you know and understand what caused them and how to prevent them with your best feathered friend. Good luck - don't overthink it, just enjoy.
