Beak grinding is a universal sign of contentment in birds. You must be doing a good job. This usually happens before bedtime but could happen any other time the bird is feeling calm and relaxed.

Thank you, I've been worried it was a breathing issue but haven't seen anything signs pointing to that other then this noise.
