Nipping baby conure!!!

[crazybirdface]

Lately my baby crimson bellied is going crazy nipping and pinching while flapping around, I am actually bleeding on my hand. Every time I let it out of it's cage it is like this ... It is like a feverish hyperactive thing then it calms down and i can pet it or cuddle, then it 'attacks' again. Even after it's been hand fed.
Is this just because it is starting to wean or would this be a species trait? I hope this is just a phase ...:31:

It is just because he is a baby, my 13 week old gcc's do the same thing except mine are learning not to do it. You have to teach them it isn't ok to do this, don't respond by making a noise when he does it just say no biting and calmly set him back in his cage for a few minutes. He will soon learn that it isn't ok to do.
