Yes he could be doing it to try and tell you something. I don't think there's any harm in letting him out in a controlled environment. ie not free roaming but maybe in a playpen area. Sometimes its hard to work out what they're trying to tell you so its a process of elimination. It might be the need for out of cage time. If that doesnt stop it then check everything else in the cage - is everything accessible? Is the water bottle working? It does sound a bit like pent up energy and frustration but it might be more serious - eg water bottle not letting water out properly.
