It may be a genetic condition that is no cause for concern as long as he is behaving normally otherwise. Other possibilities include trauma, infection or nutritional deficiency while the feathers were growing. You would need to have Pupi physically examined by your veterinarian or an experienced avian vet to diagnose any of these conditions.
