In my opinion if I were you I wouldn't go for an african grey. If you're afraid of biting defenetly not a good bird for you. Grey's are like children they can be sweet and friendly but, they can also, have mood swings and you'll probably end up getting bitten. Grey's are very demanding for attention and require a lot of one on one time with their owner EVERY SINGLE DAY! If you've only had a lovebird I would step up to a conure or pionus. The conures are very affectionate and active. The pionus' are very laid back and not as demanding for attention, plus if they bite it can only break skin, NOT BONE! Hope this has been helpful.
