What is he doing

[Iambigsy]

Alfie has started to race up and down in a morning he climbs from
His purch going round in circles around his cage,

What might he be doing?

 

[TessieB]

Asking to come out of his cage?

Agreed, Buddy does that and says hello, pretty bird while dancing and all the while his eyes are "spinning", meaning his pupils are pinning.

Kiwi does this too. Usually it means "I'm awake and ready to come out to play already mommy". When he's running circles he's ready to zoom out of his cage the moment I open the door
