Very few lifeforms other than humans recognise that they are looking at themselves when looking in a mirror.
That bird thinks he/she has competition for food and your attention.

I feel a lot like that when I look in the mirror.....I think if I had feathers I would pull them out.

he's a beautiful bird (Golden Mantel Rosella to give him his 'proper' name) with his looks you'd think he'd love looking in the mirror

Has he just got the mirror?
Maybe he thinks this bird (his reflection) is a threat and gonna take you away from him?, if he's close to YOU then he may see this as another bird and trying to show whos boss?...just an idea

Its coming round to spring, it the time when nest building starts, he sees that bird in the mirror as a potential rival. Try putting it on the bottom of a bowl of water, see what happens, birds don't bother when they look down to drink, and see their reflection
