Bird did a weird gesture...any idea what it means?

Is this normal? What does this bird gesture mean? Aerial did it multiple times in a row and I wasn't sure if it was bad, good, or neutral. Any ideas? Thanks.

Your bird is emptying his crop. :-) They will do it repetitively until the crop is empty. That's normal.

Oh okay, so it is a normal digestive behavior. I thought he was being silly or attempting to sing opera since that was the music I had on. Thanks for solving my bird mystery! Glad he is normal for the most part :)
