What do I do about his pecking? Ignore it or make him learn that it is not ok?

Can you teach him an alternate behavior? Such as go to a specific perch, when asked. Then he can be eating his reward treat as you service the aviary. This method has worked well for me.
Another that I have tried and it's also worked well, is to play with them with a toy and/or carry on a interactive conversation with them when I first go into to their cage. This seems to calm the waters and I am not viewed as the intruder who just rushed into their space.
