Is it normal for conures to nap during the day?

Sleeping much more than her normal, staying fluffed up for long stretches rather than smoothing out, dozing on the cage floor or hunched in a corner, eyes half shut while she is supposed to be awake, and going off her toys. Length and posture, not the nap itself.

You have described a healthy nap almost item by item, and the foot is the detail that matters. Twenty minutes, on one foot, right after eating, then straight back to being a nuisance. That is a full crop and a relaxed bird.

Birds in the wild tend to be busy in the morning and late afternoon and rest through the middle, and a lot of parrots keep the shape in a living room. One foot plus smooth feathers afterwards is the thing to keep noticing.
