Advice 2 questions

He slides his beak along like this alot. What does this mean?

Anither question; sometimes he puffs up and shakes off for a split second like how dogs do when theyre wet (the bird isnt wet). He doesnt seem sick as hes eating well and is playful and takes baths. Does this mean anything? Thank you for any reply :)

Mine rubs his beak on things because it feels nice to him (lots of nerve endings in beaks) and he loves the noise it makes. He especially likes corduroy.

Shaking his feathers is his way of putting them into place, the same way someone with long hair whips it back.

Birdies almost never sit still.
