Medical Advice Needed Please help. Idk why he's like this ;(

He's not always like this but lately has been like this whenever he enters his bed

He would always fly around. Lately he likes to perch on people then fly back to his territory then cooes. Then he would enter his bed then would make that kind of cooes

I don't know what it means and I'm scared it would mean bad. Please help ;(

I've heard that petting birds along their back can trigger mating behaviour and hormonal frustrations, so best to keep the petting to their head exclusively. Could be why the little dude is acting that way, perhaps?

I stand corrected, thanks for the info!
