That is quite a few birds of different species. Are they in separate cages? Do you have them in a bird room?

Can you determine why he is biting? When you know why you can work out a response.
What happens before he bites, and what after? Did it start when something changed or was the behavior present from the beginning?
Some reasons that could be why he bites are asking attention, biting to get returned to his cage or play area(as he Is clipped he can’t Fly back himself, so if you put him back when he bites he could use that to his benefit), or perhaps he is beaking he is young.

I will try and watch the videos. He has been like this for about the 2 weeks I’ve had him I’m hoping it is just because he is a baby and new to the family. And yes Lady Jane I have 6 parakeets 2 Bourkes 1 cockitel And 1 Kakariki in a large 8’x4’x6’ aviary and my Sun Conure is in a cage alone during the day and at night and when we come home for work they have free flight of finished basement and a few will choose to come up to the main house No fighting at all. all have been intorduced outside of cages on neutral grounds on multiple times one big happy family
