It could be that. But if he still does it when you feed him something else it could be that he is in pain. He is quite elderly and they can bite if they have pain and are suffering and at times like that anything in the cage may stress them. Suggest a general health check when he's out of the cage. Just gently feel him when handling him - see if he has any lumps or anything else that doesn't seem right. Does he seem ok otherwise? If they have pain they can seem more hunched or ears down more.
