Then again it could be male hormone noises. I dont have a male that likes scritches, only a female.

Hes not dna sexed yet, we just assume hes male due to his personality. other than the occasional waddle loop shows no signs of hormonal behaviours, i equated it to baby noises as i watched a video of a baby teil (before i woke him up for the morning) and it was almost identical! I also only scritch his head and neck, his favourite spot is his cheeks. So im not sure!

I do have to say he is very clingy, and he doesn't belive in personal space

Some birds can make baby noises / head bob when they're especially excited. That's probably what's going on here, especially if he's on the younger side.
