I know what you mean about being biten - but if you press into the bird as in if he bites your finger - instead of tring to pull away just push into him - yes it does hurt but once most birds realize its not a game and he wont scare you away with his bite - its not worth biting!!! No reaction to his bite is not what he wants...he wants you to run away and scream etc...theres the fun!
Ignore the love behaviour - dont show him you like it or hate it - just ignore him and when he stops reward him with praise or treats....its a slow road with greys but they do learn behaviour good and bad LOL

I have been ignoring the love thing now i know that it's not going to make him ill, i was worried that he would get depressed. Since ive stopped talking to him like a baby he as started to do it less. I will tell hubby what you said, it should go down a treat lol, Alfi puts his wings back and charges at him if my hubby sits to close to me. But he hasn't always behaved that way so hopefully we will beable to get him out of it.
