My Madge doesn’t do it but Leia does. She even has different voices; she has a distinct “cawing” ack for the crows. I wonder if there is anything else tied into it such as as a cat’s breed.
One of mine chatters, too, but I used to have a cat that, as a kitten, really did bark. He’d been born into a household that had a collie that barked all day long. My kitten barked up until he was about 6 months old after which (not knowing any better back in the day) we let him become an indoor-outdoor cat and, presumably, contact with other cats straightened him out.
I think that’s definitely a bark…and a howl. Too funny. He sounds like my Woody (siamese), who “barks” instead of meowing. My joke is that Woody’s grandfather was a german shepard.

It’s chattering while watching a bird outside, perfectly normal feline behaviour… !! lol

Yes, mine do the chattering when they watch birds outside. It’s really cute. But, they are not barking.

It’s more like “aaacking”
