No I think he puffs himself up like a bird does ..
They do puff up for many reasons. Usually they are sulking or annoyed. I also could be because they maybe ill but, you'd see signs along with the puffing. Mine do it several times a day.
And yes, to making them look stronger to there mate. (depends on what type of bird.) The Spandoo or Glasgow Pigeon likes to puff itself up frequently .
