Generally speaking, all birds bite. It is a natural instinct. Lacking hands, they use their beaks for exploring, locomotion and protection. When owning a pet parrot, it is important to understand that they will "bite" for many reasons, some of which are actually affectionate, in order to be prepared to avoid a potentially painful situation.
Generally speaking, smaller parrots (such as Cockatiels and parakeets) have a less painful bite and can be easily hand trained with consistent gentle handling and treats. If seeking a bird that "doesn't bite", passerines (canaries and finches) and columbiformes (pigeons and doves) do less damage when biting, and are less prone to that behavior.
