Just shutting the eyes/sleeping is a very vague sign, so it would be hard to say. It may just be she is relaxing and taking a nap if she only does it on her perch and is otherwise happy, active, eating and drinking, etc. If she seems to sleep all the time, isn't interested in food or water as much, has visible signs of illness, or is puffed up all the time, then these can indicate possible illness. Keeping her eating and drinking, watching for any signs of illness and making sure she is in a stress-free and not too warm or too cold environment can help, however if you see signs of illness or are concerned about her health, scheduling a vet visit in person is always best.
