Hi and thank you for your question. This is quite a common behavior. If he is aggressive near/in the cage, get him out of this area using a glove or a perch before you handle him. Avoid any reaction to his bites, as this will only reinforce this behavior. Instead, you can place him somewhere low and leave the room for a while. Reward him only when he is well behaved. Regards
