My lovebird has started nibbling me and gets mad if I don’t let her/him

Hi, I have a question, I have a lovebird who is around 3-4 months, she is always with me always on my shoulder, she never leaves my side, she’s been really clingy and super sweet since I got her/him, but these past 3 days she’s been bitting the smallest itty bitty pieces of skin on my neck and chest. She doesn’t get aggressive about it until I move her with my hand. Then she’ll bite the hardest she’s ever bitten me. She/he gets mad if I don’t let her do it. What does that mean?

She is not aggressive at all until she starts doing the nibbling thing and I move her and she gets angry, besides that her behavior is very sweet and cuddly.

It sounds to me like she's trying to preen you. Can you give her a toy or something to distract her?
