It's either because your budgie feels safe enough to groom around you - a very social activity among birds - or it could be preening as a nervous habit. More than likely it's preening because you're cleaning its cage and since cleaning = social activity, it's just doing the birdy equivalent of what you're doing. Perfectly normal :) . It's kind of like a kid who has to do what you're doing.
