Gouldian is approximately a month old and fully feathered and flying well and eating well on its own. However last couple of days I notice its head tucked throughout the day sleeping. Wondering why???

Is the baby always puffed up and inactive during those days? If so, it might be sick. More description of symptoms is needed to determine the exact cause of this.

Maybe he's just tired and needs more rest.

Yh if it’s a big cage or aviary sometimes they have a little rest and sleep my fledglings do this sometimes especially about 2 oclock I see all of them like this enjoying the bit of sun

Try and count how many times it sleeps. If most of the day is spent sleeping then it is sick.

Maybe it's nocturnal and sleeps during the day.
