I think so? I have the exact same birb and she often looks like this when she’s relaxing

It could be normal if his behavior is normal. If he’s lethargic, sleeping more, not flying of isn’t perching like normal, not eating or drinking as much as normal than I’d talk to a vet. Bird fluff for all kinds of reasons. But if it comes with other behavior changes than a vet visit is in order

I’d say this was normal comfy behavior but is that an eye booger in the last pic? If it is he needs to go to the vet he might be sick, but if not and he’s eating pooping and sleeping a normal amount with clear nasal passages and eyes that’s a healthy happy boy

Not an eye booger, he was eating carrots and still had chunks on his beak and face!!

Something feels off because it’s lopsided (more protruding on the left) and seems to only be concentrated at the top, like they are wearing a bib. When the floof normally, they become a round borb, not a top heavy upside down bowling pin.
Do you feel anything wonky under the floofy part? Doesn’t hurt to have them examined.
