Bubble nest, flaring, following finger

So, about 3 weeks ago I got a betta. Originally had a 1 gallon bowl but after reading I bought a 5 gallon tank about 2 days ago. He used to make bubble nests in the bowl and he just made his first one in the new tank. Today he did something I've never seen before. I came up to the aquarium and he flared his gills at me. I then put my finger on there and he would follow it and also flare his gills.

So bubble nest, finger following and flaring - bad or good? Anything I can do to make things better?

maybe it is the feeding thing. I gave him pellets but he didn't see them and started swimming up and down and flaring like "WHERES MY FOOD" but he stopped once he found them. Lol they're so funny.
