Best Answer

A pheasant will puff up (as will most birds) when it gets cold. When a pheasant puffs up, it traps air between it's feathers and body, which acts as insulation to keep the bird warm. It may also be an indication the bird is not feeling well. When birds get sick, they feel like they are cold, even if the weather is warm.
