The bird might be "Anting" Some species allow ants to crawl all over them allowing the introduction of formic acid to kill parasites - that said he may just be showing off.

I believe this is just the spring mating dances that mockingbirds put themselves through in order to find a willing female... about half the humiliation your average human goes through, in my opinion.
