This behavior is not described in birds. At least I can not find anything like that!

ask another expert, or only a few clicks into a search engine and any disinformation by us members will be clarified.

Displacement behaviour is a well known and researched behaviour seen in many animals including humans. Very interesting subject if you have time to read about it.
