Is he calm while he is puffed or is it an excited sort of reaction? If he seems calm the puffing could be a sign of sickness (birds puff their feathers to stay warm), in which case I would recommend taking him to an avian vet. However, puffing of the facial feathers can also be a sign of aggression or agitation about something. For instance, does he always puff up when you or another bird comes near? Also, if he's puffed up all the time that's more likely to be a sign of sickness than if he just periodically puffs up and then goes back to normal. Bird body language can be pretty confusing so it's important to look at context as well as just feather and body position. Hope this helps...
