Pet's info: Bird | Parakeet | Female
I was wondering if the posture of the green parakeet in the photo is normal. He sits like this frequently, and I am concerned that it is not normal.

That could be not normal as this puffed up - feathers position can be caused by general illness that can cause high temperature. Any infection can cause that for example. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed.
