Answer
Hi, Imran,

I found your question in the question pool.  The expert you sent your original post to could not answer for some reason.  Please tell me who that expert was.

Feather loss can be due to normal molting, young birds playing hard resulting in feather's coming out, another bird picking feathers out, poor health resulting in feather issues, lack of bathing, poor diet, lack of proper lighting, stress, too small of a cage, etc.  Therefore, I would need to know more about the situation with your bird, the bird's age, size of cage, diet, etc., etc.  If you can provide this information, I might be able to help further.

Thanks.
