I'm lucky my bird is 1) small (senegal) and 2) has a very mild temperament. He shows a lot of restraint when he's cranky, and I appreciate it greatly.

I did recently house sit for a family with a yellow naped amazon who hasn't been out of the cage in months, possibly years. The family is afraid of him... I learned that he's just cage aggressive, and once away to a different room, he is more docile -- but still nervous. He nipped my arm a couple times, but it was through a sweatshirt and he didn't get a good hold... I would not like to get bit by your bird, who has a considerably larger beak than even the amazon. lol.
