Not sure about conures but we adopted amazon and a african brown head.
The brown head tends to be nippy when she doesn't get her way. I will only take her off my partners shoulder or from a cage with a stick, she is generally good except for those times.

Our Amazon was really excited in the beginning which made him nip harder than he does now, but it wasn't a bite mind you.

The best way to not get bitten is to avoid the bite, the excitement should wear off after owning him a little while. Also we try to follow the rule that the bird shouldn't be up on our shoulder until we trust them and they must come off when asked.

Regurgitation is a sign of love, ours did this as well.

Good Luck

LOL. Yes i can relate to the parrot hormones. Here is a link on the problem.

The reguritation is showing that he in love with your hubby and is trying to mate with him you are seen as his rival which is why he is biting you hard. Your hubby needs to put him down anytime he displays this behavior and walk away and when he bites you he should scold your bird and put him away then comfort you and shoot evil glances at the bird while comforting you (this is called shunning) keep this up until the behavior changes.

I agree with soup... your husband needs to make it apparent that YOU are his partner and your conure cant court him

My conures try to "feed" me too and I put them down and walk away. Exactly what the others said, he see's you as a threat to your partner.
