i took into consideration that the glove might be scaring my bird friends.. and seeing that i have to wear it because of the hurting i cant take, i have placed the glove have in and have out of the cage. and left it there for about 4 hous in each of there cages so they could walk over to it and see that it wont hurt them.. i took it out though so incase they were really scared of it they could go back to eating and playing but they didn't seemed fazed by it.. pegasus is a little more frightend of it but putting it in for awhile helped because he is not as afraid i think. i put it in again today for a couple of hours so they can see it again.
If you really don't like the biting you could always perch train them before finger training them. This is essentially the same except you use a perch rather than your finger. :)
I am in the process of perch or stick training and it is coming on quite well.
Lily is brave and Billy is clever. Lily gets on the perch almost immediately but Billy clings on the side of the cage for the fear that he will be taken from his lovely seed!

perch training. can you go more into depth for me?
Well you use it the same as your finger but instead you use a perch that they are used to.
It helps them gain confidence on cilimbing on some thing that moves.
You could even draw a finger and stick it around one of their perches then use it for the perch training. I have found that a good tip to use when they are getting more used to perch training.
I hope this helps!
