Hi it sounds like your bird has had a fright when being take out of the cage and its only protection is by biting.

You can not show a bird who is boss as birds are not taught to respect the hand that feed like cats and dogs are.

The only thing you can really do is every 15mins or so place your hand in the cage dont take him out or grab him as grabbing him will scare him and cause him to bite to take a bird from the cage he/she must come to you and sit on your hand or finger.

keep doing this slowly placeing your finger against his chest eventually he will start and sit on your hand again and be calm when you put your hand in.
