Answer:
Pet birds can lose feathers for a number of reasons. Common problems include moulting (either normal or abnormal), stress (many causes), feather destructive behaviour, excessive preening by a parent or cage mate and viral or bacterial infections.
Changes in the cage or more attention can and usually does help. A companion bird may be the solution (although sometimes it will make things worse!), especially if the feather picking bird is very “people oriented.” Make sure that a new cage mate does not start to more issues then they help resolve!
