Olive likes to fix my hair for me

Bonding is going well. Olive is biting less with a little trick I found on YouTube. When she bites I will move or shake until she stops. The idea is to get her to stop and focus more on holding on over time she has realized that her perch shakes when she bites so she's biting a lot less just in the last week since I started.
Here's the video How to avoid bird biting? "Learn a VERY SIMPLE trick to teach your conure to not bite you" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqWf01sD...Phenomenon
KK still isn't too sure about Olive and actually bit her on the leg the other day. I was cleaning Olives cage, having already cleaned KKs, so she was out bouncing around. Olive had flown to the top of KKs cage and KK was made and started rocking and pecking. I was trying to get Olive on my hand when it happened. Olive realized I was trying to help and hopped up on my hand right after but she was lifting her leg up. She was still using it to climb when I sat her on her own cage and no blood. So that was not good but it's still early. I'm trying to bring them around each others cages more and there's never any overt aggression but birds have a pecking order. If one bird is higher than the other it's considered a dominate move and the lower birds will challenge especially with KK being bigger she's going to challenge.
Olive has started mimicking KKs loud screeches. It's so cute! Olive can't get as loud so it comes out like a whisper version of what KK does. I'll have to record them today. It is cage cleaning time again.
