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 Pied Cockatiel is a variation of the common cockatiel, characterized by its distinctive coloring. Unlike the typical gray cockatiel, the Pied Cockatiel features a mix of white, yellow, and gray feathers, resulting in a striking appearance. This color mutation affects the distribution of pigments, creating unique patterns on each bird. Like all cockatiels, Pied Cockatiels are known for their friendly nature and ability to mimic sounds.
Young grey cockatiels will usually get yellow wing and tail feathers, and coloured cheek patches as they mature.

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.
