The key is to not be afraid. If your bird bites, don't yell, hit it, jerk back, cry/laugh etc. That might cause the bird to bite again in the future just to see your reaction. Hold still or give it a gentle push when it bites to show you won't stand for it.
If you haven't already, you'll want to teach it the 'step up' and 'step down' commands (Google it, there's lots of sites with instructions).

Why does your quaker parrot hold his head?
If you're talking about an action in which the Quaker Parrot puts it's foot on it's head and holds it there, I can relate with my bird. My Quaker Parrot 'holds' his head with his foot while he's relaxed and preening. I think this behavior is simply him enjoying scratching himself with his claws. He clenches his toes in and out in a scratching manner while looking very pleased. He'll sometimes let me scratch him with my fingernail, too.

How do you trim your Quaker parrots nails?
Simply buy some styptic powder and small reptile/bird nail clippers. Keep the styptic powder close by with a dampened Q-tip. Hold the Quaker in a towel to keep it from biting (this is best done with another person holding the parrot). Carefully snip off small sections of nail at a time, check for bleeding, and use the styptic powder to stop bleeding if necessary.
