Feather picking is common in birds and is usually related to behavioral issues like stress and Boredom. I recommend trying to increase the amount of toys and interactions through the day. Also keep in a low stress area of the house. If that does not help I would recommend taking him to a veterinarian for medications to try and stop the behavior.
