As the title says, I'm trying to teach two lovebirds not to land on peoples' heads anymore.
I'm fostering two wonderful lovebirds, but they have quite a few rude habits. I've gotten them to step up without biting (most of the time), and it's been a while since they've lunged at my face, but the one thing I can't seem to deter is them flying straight at faces and taking control of a person's head. Rather than fighting the hand that tries to fetch them, they'll fly off, which is nice, except that they come right back.
It's adorable and I love them, but pooping in hair and getting tangled isn't exactly prime bonding time. Having them on shoulders is risky because they'll pinch/bite any inch of skin or ear they can reach, but I can't work on that anyways if I can't keep them off my head...
Any tips on how to go about this? They're both very headstrong and do not fear people.

I've been dodging them like a scene from the Matrix, but it's getting harder as they've learned to circle back three times and even hover like hummingbirds if necessary...
