What does it mean if a cockatiel's crown is down?

If could be because it's scared if it's while you're trying to interact with it. If it's alone in the cage, it could be neutral or sleepy.The top feathers on a cockatiel's head are known as the crest, not 'crown'. The usual position of a cockatiel's crest is down; this is when it is feeding normally, or not over-stimulated in some way. A cockatiel will raise its crest when it is alarmed or excited, so if the crest is down, it simply means that life is normal, and there is nothing for the bird to be particularly excited about.
