Thank you for your question, and thank you for the photos. When birds are young, they will often sleep with their heads towards the ground and their bottoms towards the sky. This may change with age, and if it doesn't, that is okay too! If you notice any lameness - this would be if Alfred is holding one of his feet up or if he is having difficulty walking around his cage - then I would recommend having him evaluated by a veterinarian as he may have an injury. Also, I would recommend taking Alfred in for a wellness examination in the future so that he can be evaluated by a veterinarian. They may recommend collecting blood work as a baseline for him, so that if he gets sick in the future that they have something to compare to. I hope that helps to answer your question, and good luck with your new bird!
