The most common reason for feather loss is feather picking. This is usually a behavioral trait that can be very hard to stop. I would recommend a visit to a vet to just make sure there are no underlying disease like parasites or infectious. IF the medical exam is normal make sure to have adequate space for Harry to live. Provide plenty of toys to play with and possibly a mirror. Increase interaction in a quiet place of the house to reduce stress. You can mist the features with an over the counter feather hydrating spray. Sometimes if it is not improving their are medications you can use to help with this behavior.
