Not sure of the correct answer there, sorry but I think it varies with the bird but if it's gone on a year I'd say it's an established behavior pattern and not just bluffing.

Any experts out there with a better answer?

I agree, this is established behavior, at this point.

However, you mentioned to me in private that she didnt look so well. I need to see a pic. I cant, with good conscious, sit here and tell you, 'its just how she is'.

It could be a health problem. Need pics.

Do you ever see her tremble and puffed up?

It usually means they are:

A: Stressed; Freaked out, scared. New environment, for example.

B: Not feeling well, if it goes on for any amount of time or is with sneezing or runny nose... vet time for sure.

C: Poor cage placement. They shouldnt be anywhere near vents. They like it toasty. Wink

He may be just scared. . . i mean i just bought a year old lorikeet - he is immaculate in presentation - when he is afraid he bobs and cries and puffs feathers. I know i can tame him outa this, you shouldn't worry, if he's healthy then scared behaviour can be tamed out by socialisation. in that case go to the thread about taming - below or above - the new one.
