0 someone, usually a man, who is too interested in and proud of their own appearance:
They preened themselves like popinjays.
He was their leader, a soldier, but dressed like a popinjay in multi-coloured hose and high-heeled Spanish riding boots.
Among the preening, pompous popinjays of the House of Commons he stands out.
The man was a bejewelled, perfumed popinjay.
