As long as he's eating, drinking and playing with his toys he sounds fine. Do you have lots of appropriate toys in the cage for your birdie? Mine also get a huge kick out of listening to music, even if it's played quite softly. It just makes them happier.

Sounds fine,apart from the "fluffing" up. Check your bird is warm enough. Cover the sides and back of cage if its a bit chilly. Check your birds droppings, a sure sign to tell if your bird is off colour. A normal dropping of a budgie consists of a dark, firm range and a white urine portion in the center. The urine is of a creamy to firm consistency in general. If the bird drank much or ate fresh food, it is a bit more wet. If the condition of the droppings differs from the consistency described above during a longer period than two hours, this could indicate a beginning illness.
To relieve boredom,try leaving a radio on low,birds love music. Also, alternate his toys daily,so he has something different.Place his cage where he can see whats going on,but never in direct sunlight.

what part of that do you think is acting funny? Sounds like a bird to me.
What do you expect? You have taken away his natural habitat and the ability to fly free

Does he have toys to play with and chew up?
Do you give him out of cage time?
He will be bored if he doesn't get those things.
