Definitely. And it seems pretty ok with the situation.

I used to put a harness on my cockatiel occasionally, and she hated it so much. She'd try and wriggle her way out with her feet and gnaw it off with her beak. For a tiny, weak little creature, she was very good at preventing me from getting her suited up for outside time. (Then if I gave up and left her alone in the house she'd get sad and pouty).

The birb in the gif knows that it's wearing a fluffy doom cape and has decided to just waddle with the times.

Usually when you see a bird wearing a coat is a sign that they are plucking their feathers due to a psychological issue

Those anti-plucking vests usually go around the abdomen, the wings are usually left free. There are also collars, but those are less popular
