My bird changed sleeping position. Is my parrot sick or is it normal?

Question

Hi there, I have a Senegal parrot. He used to sleep well with his head under his wing but lately he doest sleep like that anymore. He still sleeps on one leg but he kind of leans forward and low. I'm a bit worried that he is sick. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male

It can be normal for a bird to change its preferred position of sleeping so I would not be too worried about it, as long as he is still sleeping the same amount and sleeping soundly. However, if you are concerned that he is sick for any other reason, like he is not as active or not eating as well, then I would recommend having him checked out by your vet.
