Red face Silly Question about Sleep

I have 2 Senegals and I CAG. Ozzy, the CAG, sleeps with his head upright, not tucking his head into his back like my Senegals both do. Is this typical for a CAG? Just curious. Can you tell that I'm a new bird owner?

Mine doesn't tuck. She just hopes into her favorite corner and shuts her eyes.

My Jordy does sometimes. Most often he will just close his eyes and doze off.

I've never seen either of my birds tuck their heads.

Don't ever be afraid to ask a question out here. I kind of like the easy ones. They make me feel smart. Just think, you've just helped my self-esteem!

When Ziggy does a big sleep, like at night, he won't tuck in his head...but for naps he will.

I think it just depends on the bird. My TAG does tuck his head.

My TAG tucks when she's in hard core sleep mode. When she's just dozing outside her cage she'll just close her eyes and sometimes droop her head down.
