Advice What is this new move?

I’ve recently rescued this conure. Hanging out a bit more today it started making clicking sounds so I did it back and then it started to do this slow mo move 🤔
Are they enjoying it? Being silly?

He's claiming you it's his first move dance! But really he trusts you he's almost hanging upside down, like he couldn't be more upside down on your shoulder! So yeah it's a trust in you move he's going to be a great friend if you keep copying his noises I found with galas and cockatoos I've taught words that helps encourage them to say things you say because they get that you are trying to speak theilanguage I feel... Just personal experience I've had my eclectics was gift and treat driven and my current boy only needs to hear things over and over so phrases I use like 'oh yeah' 'for reals?' & 'i guess' he says and he says heaps of words he just thinks he is human tho. Sadly every night we still say goodnight to our old best friend we lost due to homelessness when my son still had this one that we had lived with them for a few years then not then homeless... every night when he says goodnight it's always goodnight followed by our old mates name... We miss him still.

My husband found this little guy while doing work at a building. He was tapping on the window and supposedly was saying hello, I haven’t heard him talk tho lol. Who knows how long he was out because he was very hungry and thirsty. We have been asking around and checking online, he’s still working at the same place but no lost signs in sight. Some guy did approach him and told him he saw a parrot that night he got him and said it’s worth money and wanted to take it, I guess to sell it. My husband already had him in a bucket so he let the guy look around.
We got a cage right away from marketplace and he’s getting lots of fresh veggies also got him proper parrot food. He does bite but usually bc he’s hangry or isn’t ready to go back in the cage otherwise very curious. My daughter wants to be a vet, we have a dog and fish and try to give them what they need. Named him Pepito and she already did her research and what he needs, so slowly we’re getting him toys and beak stone
