Is it normal for my parakeet to lean on his food perch when sleeping?

Question

Hello! I just got a parakeet a few days ago and he is trying to sleep on his food perch. Is it normal for a bird to lean on something when they sleep? Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male | unneutered | 0.5 lbs

Hi there! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It can be normal for birds to lean on food bowls, toys, or their cage walls while asleep. I would not be concerned unless the leaning continues while he is awake. Examples of this would be tilting his head to one side while walking or circling in one direction. If he is acting normally otherwise, he is likely just getting comfortable. I hope this helps!
