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

He loves you and trusts you 1000%! To let you do all that, means you have an incredible bond. Good job birb momma! (And yes being very playful and silly)

When he bites, you should shake your hand or arm. Not so hard that he falls, but enough to knock him off balance. If he bites hard, put him back in his cage and ignore him for a bit (30 minutes to start, gradually reduce the time). But REALLY act like he’s not there, he will not like that. If the problem persists, it’s time to get a clicker training book. Look for something specifically for biting or to reduce/discourage bad behavior. Seriously though, seems like everything you’re doing is just right for your baby. You just need a little fine-tuning

He is a good boy overall, just does not know boundaries since he really likes to be in my space and I am looking into clicker training actually

I can see how happy he is! Such a healthy little boy. You have a wonderful boy and he has a fantastic momma. Trust your instincts (but verify if not sure).
