Upside down sleeping regularly

Anyone else’s Blood Parrot like to sleep upside down? He swims upright when he’s awake, but wedges himself in weird places (always upside down) when he sleeps. I know he’s asleep because he always turns pale when he’s knocked out.

Oh my, that would freak me out! How long has he been doing this?

Hopefully others with BP experience will come along and post that this is not uncommon.

It freaked me out at first too! He’s done it ever since I got him about a month ago. He does it more frequently now that he’s not scared of me anymore. Like I said, when he’s awake he doesn’t go upside down at all.
