Well, for one thing, you are not supposed to touch their wings. Some species (like cockatoos, for example) like to be tickled under them but they only allow it of somebody they trust 100% and only after you ask nicely. I don't know why your parrots bite you but didn't you say that you had a butler who looked after them? Most likely, they don't regard you as their human but it could also be that they are not been handled properly or that you ask them to do something they don't want to do. Birds are not like dogs, they don't really care a fig about pleasing us in any way, their brains are simply not wired that way, so we need to woo them and win them over with love and patience and, once they love and trust us, we can ask them (politely and without insisting if they don't want to do it) to do things for us. But it's not a right, it's a privilege and we need to earn it. And, if you take them for granted, they will bite you.
