Hi and thank you for your question, In general, those feathers should grow back in a few weeks, and this should have no negative effect on his health. However, looking at the picture of the feathers I have some concerns about their structure. If available to you, I would have the birds tested for Psittacine Beak and Feather Virus, just to make sure that it is not infected. Regards
