This is a very common problem in parrots, 80% of the time they pluck their feathers due to boredom and psychological issues. the rest of the 20% include various diseases, you will need to take him to an avian vet in order to run several test and rule out all physical conditions before starting to treat the physiological condition medically (usually with Prozac).
