Hi Don and welcome to Parrots! (I may have welcomed you before, but I
forget so easily...).
Anyway, the easiest solution to your problem is just to keep the bird
down off your shoulders. Make him sit on your forearms or in your lap at
all times. This way he can't GET to your back. This also keeps a
potentially dangerous situation from developing. If the bird is a male
and begins to test the flock hierarchy, he may challenge you someday.
If he's sitting on your shoulder, he will challenge your face, and you
will lose. Birds can inflict some nasty wounds to the facial area, often
requiring stitches and/or plastic surgery (just ask actress Tori
Spelling of "90210"--her amazon took a hunk out of the end of her
nose!). Keeping the bird from sitting on your shoulders will keep him
from being able to ever bite your face.
And as an added bonus, by having the bird down lower where you can watch
him, you can more easily potty train him, and keep from having to get
someone to wipe off your back all day!
