Green-cheeked conure taming

I have 2 GCC. My boy Elphaba is very kind and gentle and will let me do taming stuff with him. Then my girl Glinda is very moody and is easily upset. Im having a hard time taming her and she has a hard bite. She will bit me if I get close to her head or back. She is fine with me touching her beak and belly though. Mostly because I touch her belly to get her to step on my finger. I am getting most of my info from trainedparrot.com. :gcc:
Anybody have ideas? :D
How can I be in two places at once, unless I were a bird?

Take each bird as an individual and go at his or her own pace. Try to avoid going so far you get bitten, it is better to go slower and avoid bites!

Ya...I don't think Glinda likes being held as much so I probably should go slower than with Elphaba. It is just Glinda always caught on faster at all their tricks and stuff than Elphaba who was going slower, which is ok because after all 1 of Elphaba's wings haven't grown their full feathers. (It is still clipped) I guess I expected so much from Glinda because of her other achivements.
Thanks for the advice!

By the way...you GCC is very cute. :D
