I don't know about this species specifically but he is probably just settling in and getting used to his surroundings. He isn't all puffy or anything so he doesn't look sick, just kind of scared. You may want to either push the cage against a wall or cover part of the cage with a sheet or blanket so that he doesn't feel too exposed (if you haven't already - I can't see the whole cage in the photo). Very pretty looking bird!

Riley-white faced grey cockatiel (hatch date 6-28-2014) RIP Halloween-pied cockatiel
With my birds the first couple days I had them they were pretty much motionless. But I think that was because they were severly sleep deprived with the pet shop being under a remodel. But after the first day or two they were just normal birds playing with their toys.

I've never seen a grass parakeet before; he's gorgeous. Ditto on the advice above.
