Question
How do you stop a lovebird from biting?

Answer
Sorry, but if you have a biter, you have a long path with no assurance of success. You will have to suffer bites and be very very patient.

Try holding the bird in such as way as it cannot bite, with the head between forefinger and thumb and then caressing it gently until it ceases to struggle.

If you send your e-mail address I will send you some links where you can meet others with the same problems.
