My 4-month-old bird is losing feathers. Is it molting or a health issue?

Question

Hello so my almost 4 month old bird is losing feathers. Since a week I have been noticing this. Everyday he sheds atleast five to six feathers or maybe more. So I don’t know if this is him moulting or is it’s actually a Heath issue. Like besides this he just seems pretty active and vocal. Pet's info: Bird | Parrot | Male | 4 months and 3 days old

If he is not actively pulling out the feathers I would not be worried. It may just be a normal molt for his age. You could always get a feather supplement to help him along like this one from Nekton: https://www.amazon.com/Nekton-Bio-for-Bird-Feathering-150gm/dp/B0002DIM3C?th=1
