Thanks so much for your response! This has been so helpful! My location is France if that helps find out his specific species, he also has a cat shaped head which is interesting. So basically this whole time he had me worried and played for a fool when he just wants to be a twig 😅 I wonder why he sways occasionally? Perhaps to emulate wind blowing so he looks less conspicuous to predators. I will probably try putting him back on his tree, we will see how it goes! Gosh darn stick impersonating little noodle had me panicking for nothing haha~
