If the rest of the bird's feathers are fine, then the cockatiel is not unhealthy. There can be subtle differences in birds of the same species, including the length of their crest or even tail feathers. A young bird will often have a shorter crest, but it is most likely to just be the result of a slight genetic difference.
A crest may also be affected during a routine moult.

Why do cockatiel birds sit with their back to you?
It means it's frightened. A cockatiel sitting with its back to you is not usually frightened, as a frightened bird is more likely to flap and cower in a corner, keeping its eyes on you, rather than turning its back to you, which would render it vulnerable to predation. If a cockatiel sits with its back to you, it can mean the bird is distressed or ill. It can also mean the bird is, quite simply, sulking. Cockatiels bond strongly to their owners, and if a new pet is introduced, or something unusual happens in the household, a cockatiel will sometimes react in a seemingly human way - by sulking.
