Why does my cockatiel run and whistle excitedly in his cage?

Question

I have a 5 months old cockatiel named cheeko. Some time when he is in his cage, he starts whistling and whistling and running in the cage suddenly and searching for a exit door. After opening the door he gets out of the cage and starts running on carpets and whistling and after some seconds he stops doing that and idle somewhere! I think he is searching for another bird. Am i right? Is that a good sign? What to do when he does that? May i ask what is good for him as reward when he does sth ok? Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male

It sounds like Cheeko may just be excited and enjoys getting out and exploring. Singing and chirping can be signs that he's enjoying his time. Offering some fun toys to play with and safe things to explore may help encourage this behavior. As for things to give when he does something you like, a favorite treat such as a piece of fruit (apple or strawberry slices are always favorites, or even a piece of lettuce or spinach!) can reward him. You can also find many commercial bird treats at your local pet store that are safe to give.
