I had seen this same thing two years ago at our state fair, I ran out of the chicken section quick! I would guess bugs or the birds were sick, but not 100% sure on this, as I didn't stick around to look too close.

Sometimes I see my Silke shaking her head around, she also does it when she hears people talking loudly. After shaking her head she starts moving her head back and forth like in a trance.
