ok so thick gloves will help..
the one whose biting me is the bigger one. its an ordinary african love bird.
this one is really bully.. even if i put pellets and water in their cage. she will attack me and bite me til i bleed thats the time i will forcefully remove her in my hand coz she might do more damage to me.
do you think it will help if i remove the sharp thing / Beak ( i dont know whats its called ) ? or if i remove it a little

Separate them........It's not fair to put the nice one through the torture of the bird with issues. Punish the bird by putting him in a different cage cover him up make sure that he has pleanty of food and water but leave him covered up for a few days . Make sure that he can hear you talking and playing with the other bird. Then take off his cover the next day and let him see you playing with the nice bird, and don't bother with him. Then give it another try and see how he reacts to you after being ignored for a while. Believe it or not the have feelings just like we do and he is obviously taking yours for granted.

you want to remove the beak? ur kidding, right?
maybe you should have gotten parakeets. i used to playfight with them sort of like thumbwrestling. they'd bite on my thumb. parakeets may bite but they never break any skin.
the best time to really tame a bird is the first few months after they're born. otherwise it becomes difficult. i had a parakeet that i took in because it flew into my window. after a couple of years i threw him back out the window cause he was an ****** and wouldn't change- he was always fighting with the other birds and mean. He'd make this wretched noise even when the lights were off if another bird made any noise. i hated that bird. The pigeons must have been a bad influence on him. His name was Oscar.

Once love birds have bonded to each other, they want nothing to do with you.
Seperate them into different cages in different rooms. It may help tame them, but probably not.
Sorry, guess I don't get 10 points, huh?

i have lovebirds aswell, i found that the females tend to be bigger and more agressive, i wore thick gloves when i was taming my birds untill they got used to me, and occasional nip on your hand is defencive behavior which is ok but not to the extent where you start bleeding. behavoir also depends on the breed of lovebird, peachfaces tend to be more curious and friendly, and masked lovebirds tend to be more restrictive. and also if the parents were agressive then the offspring copy the parents traits usually. hope i helped ^_^

sounds like a female! split them up & sell her as a breeder.& no do not try to cut her beak the bites will still hurt & you coulk kill her.
