Relatively easier, anyhoo.

Grizzly at that.

I've heard the same thing can work with dogs. If they're going to attack, their tendency is to bite, then pull. Typical response is to pull away, which exacerbates the damage. Do the opposite, shoving your hand/arm/limb to the back of their mouth and you can put them off guard, potentially minimizing the bite.

I've had a number of dogs over the years and they all like to play grab with their toys. Trying to pull a toy from their jaws only incited them to pull harder on their end - which was the game. But do the opposite and shove the toy back into their jaw and invariably, they'll release it. Had one who'd let go then immediately sit down and stare up at me, disappointed, as if to say "why'd you do that?"

This is just me, but I wouldn't recommend pushing your whole arm down your budgies throat, let alone any small animal.
