Welcome !
A video would help. Not enough info to go on so when in doubt go to the vet as recommended by Dollysmom.
My first thoughts on it was that he possibly could be in mating mode. Even though it is NOT the mating season here or there I've seen males around the two year mark and older go into mating mode. Just a thought based on if he really is a he and his age.
