Without more information, it would be hard to say. If they get sleepy once in a while like you've described, then it may be normal. Heat in the summer can also cause a bird to be sleepier. If you are seeing other signs of illness in addition, such as not wanting to eat or drink, never being active, or sleeping all the time, then a vet checkup to rule out any health issues is always best.
