Usually if a bird stops talking/chirping, its a good indication all is NOT well. It could just be your bird is about to moult,sometimes they "puff"up because they feel off colour.Moulting is a stressful time for a bird.That said. ANY change in your birds normal behaviour needs assessing by a vet. Its important to take your bird as soon as possible,delay could affect your birds health...
Being puffed up is a sign that he is not feeling well.
We have a lot of birds, some of which are English Budgies and when one is puffed out we place them in a hospital cage. Basically it is a cage that has extra heat. Just be sure to monitor the heat so that he isnt getting too hot and make sure he has enough water.
As he seems to be eating and drinking okay, things are not looking real serious except for the puffiness.
Birds are great at hiding if they are not feeling well, I would suggest a vet.
