19 yr old Cockatiel with Arthritis...

My cockatiel is 19 yrs old and his old age has caused him to rest/sleep in an awkward position. He still sleeps on his perch but he places all his weight against the cage bars for balance and possibly relief from his talons. I worry that its uncomfortable for him to sleep against the bars like that. Is there some alternative that will better accomodate his sleep?
