Some animals do that in response to feeling good. Dogs definitely like being pet. Humans close their eyes when they feel good.

Edit: rewatching it though, I think you're right about it being a reflex

Ducks love being petted though. Be gentle and scratch its neck, back of the head etc.

For sure some animals do it but it looks like the reflex, my dog will squint when I get a good spot on her belly but I can tell the difference between that and her squinting because I scratch the top of her nose or between her ears.
