Hi, i have a 5.5 month old cockatiel. The good news is that yesterday he got on his perch for the first time since i got him. My question is: Sometimes when he (too young to sex actually) gets excited and starts to play he will do a little muffled "singing" and then bang his beak against his perch. It looks goofy but i'm a little worried he's going to hurt himself. Is this normal cockatiel play behaviour?

Thank you.
