Are the bird's wings clipped?
I see you posted "in your hands" - parrots look for a perch so do you mean on your hands? - like a finger?

Birds wings are clipped..
In my hands or on my hands or near my hands... If you try to get a hand near, he freaks. You can't get your finger near enough to use as a perch and he attacks a wooden perch if you are connected to the end of it. Thus far, he has ventured down to the floor 3 times and each time I have scooped him up to get him back up in "protected space". The first time he bit for all he could. The second time a little less forceful. The third time, he actually calmed down and let go the bite
Hopefully he will eventually allow a hand near enough but I am not gonna push it real fast.
