Invigor, I have a Quaker Parrot, that has the opposite problem, it always wants to be on me. The first thing is give it time. Allow it to climb out of the cage on it's own by leaving the door open. If it bits the worst thing you can do is recoil and get mad, this will encourage that behavior. I've taken some nasty bits and it's really hard not to react but try. Do not clip it's wings and do it's nails yourself. Take it to a good bird store of Vet. You don't want the bird to associate you to the trauma of the nails and wing clipping. you can be the rescue er.

Good luck, and I though Aquariums were a lot of work
