Grinding the beak - I am sleepy and content.
High pitched squeal - Come get me.
Raising the crest - What???
Fluffing with crest slightly raised - I am something special.
Full fluff, crest erect, wings extended - I am excited or aggressive.
Bobbing their head - Feed me warm moist food.
Raising a wing - Scratch me please or stay away I am afraid of you.
