It is mainly for dislodging parasites but it also helps to remove old oil and shake out and rearrange clumped feathers.

Birds roll in the dirt to help keep their feathers clean and free of parasites. The dust absorbs oils and moisture on their feathers, which can help in regulating their body temperature. Rolling also helps to dislodge any parasites that may be clinging to their feathers.
