How often does your bird stand on one foot?

Hi all, I'm wondering this at the moment. It feels like my green-cheek spends most of his day on one foot lately. He alternates between them and uses them fine so I'm not concerned about a specific foot, but he does seem to be doing it quite often.
I'm paranoid after his many vet visits these past weeks so I might just be overthinking it.
How many hours a day do your birds spend on one foot?

Whenever they are chilling out or going to sleep they stand on one leg.
Its quite often i wouldnt know how long they do it for though but its nothing to worry about.

Sometimes when Oscar gets sleepy he will start clicking his beak, closing his eyes and stand on one foot. One average I'd say my bird maybe spends 1-3 hours on one foot. (this is including naps) I don't think it's anything to be worried about if your bird has good foot health and uses both feet alternatively.
