If buddy is very itchy you can try a lice or mite spray for birds (available at most pet stores) to see if that helps with any potential parasites that could be causing his itching. Making sure he's on a balanced diet can also help with any skin or nutritional issues, and making sure he has toys to prevent boredom scratching and plucking may also help. However, if you are seeing wounds, redness, swelling or the feathers are not growing back in, it would be best to try and find a vet in your area that would look at him to rule out any more serious health issues.
