Step 1 : Introduction to the question "7. Your male sits on your favorite chair and spreads his wings, looking around. When you pick him up, he bites. What does this mean?"
...1. He wanted a bath 2. He was claiming his territory 3. He's hungry 4. He smells a female This goes as a warning to other tiels who might be nearby to keep away. My male does this all the time to other people's bird's cages. When a bird is hungry, he tends to run his beak over surfaces, looking and feeling for food. When he wants a bath, he fluffs up completely and flaps like crazy. They can't smell females.
