Sometimes the most reserved birds do this. My shy Timneh Grey, Roscoe, was hyper like that a few days ago.

If you've changed his routine lately, you may want to revert the whole thing, and see whether he calms down. If he doesn't, and he's not sick, he probably needs some one-on-one and new scenery.

Just lay under a thin blanket with the bird, making an airy little 'tent', where only you and he can see each other. Even birds who are leery of being cuddled instinctively nestle near. It mimics a nest. It's also fun to pretend that you don't know the way out. When it finds light, praise it and reveal the outside world.
