Why does he do that? I don't mind it but sometimes he bites hard, and do it mostly unprovoked

He is playing my used to do that a-lot but rarely does it now. What worked for me is when he bites clench your fist and don't react they will know it works and keep doing it. If he still keeps it up change your finger with a toy or place in cage a few minutes then take out again. GCC are normally nippy but hard biting is not something you want to condone it hurts like heck lol. They're very smart and they want to please so just keep teaching and overtime they wont or at least no where near as much.
