Is it normal for conures to sleep on their back?

Both. Loose threads get chewed and swallowed, which is the acute risk, and a dark enclosed space encourages hormonal nesting behaviour, which is the slow one. Check it often for wear and have the conversation with your vet rather than taking a forum's word for it.

Mine does a thing she clearly finds funny where she flops over sideways while I am scratching her head. Certain individuals are simply floppy and like lying down, and it has nothing to do with being unwell.

The context is what carries it: in a hut or during play, with normal droppings and normal appetite, waking up and perching easily.
