I wasnt going to reply since so many have already confirmed that perching is a normal yorkie thing to do, but I thought it ironic that my female Yorkie is on my shoulder now as I type. She loves it up there, and she is quite the athelete, and very persistant if I don't let her up. My previous male (now passed away) would insist on sitting on my shoulder in the car, yes, he should have been in a car seat but put up such a fuss I would not always deal with it. My other yorkies does not even like to sit on my lap unless he's exhausted. So all are different. Ms Daisy really like the view from the top!
