It is funny, Parrots or any birds indoors, prefer to be by a wall & will perch with their backs to the wall, looking into the room & knowing no one is sneaking up behind them. My pigeons are similar, the perches are in the loft, about a foot away from the wall, & they perch with backs to the wall. (A foot away so when they poo, it does not end up on the wall)
I thought chickens & roosters would perch the same way, but they don't, they can face either way, they do not seem to care. I guess they feel totally safe in their coop space & do not feel as vulnerable? I don't know, but I noticed they do not follow the "back to the wall" perching. Go figure!
They perch staggered...some face wall, some don't.

Even outside, staggered...well, makes sense there, a chicken can see in all directions that way. But yeah...never do all chickens face the same direction, indoors or outdoors.
