Yawning or stretching the beak when perching could just be Zara attempting to relax, or even acting a little stressed from the handling. However if he is actively panting, appears in distress, or is acting this way even when not being handled, it may indicate an issue such as pain, illness, respiratory problems, etc which should be examined by a local avian vet.
