Well, preening(grooming) and plucking feathers is a normal bonding ritual that many birds enjoy in the wild. You do not need to to put an end to this unless the male is making his mate lose a lot of feathers. If that is happening, consult a vet, because your pet may be stressed.

What if your female Zebra Finch has lost feathers on the back of her head?
One of the other birds is plucking them. They may stop on their own, but birds tend to attack anything that is different about another bird.
Is my parakeet sick stressed or bored Hes always puffed up kept plucking his feathers or cleaning them you dont know and he also got these different little feathers on near his head and face area?
No, he is not sick, although he might be a little bored, he is just changing his old feathers. Try to spend more time softly talking to him and ruffling his head feathers to calm him down. If he starts plucking out his feathers a lot, contact a vet without hesitation.
Your budgie is 14 years old his feathers have falling out around his neck i don't know if he is pulling them out what could it mean?
Budgies can't pull out feathers that they can't reach with their beaks. If a bird is losing feathers on its head or neck, the problem is not plucking (unless a cagemate is responsible for the plucking). Bald spots are not normal for budgies, even elderly ones. You should consult an avian veterinarian.

What bird has feathers on its head that it can move?
A cockatiel has feathers on its head that it can move around.
Why do cockatiels lose feathers around their eyes?
I can't be completely sure because I haven't seen your bird. But, if your cockatiel is losing feathers on his body, he is probably plucking them out himself out of stress or depression. If he is losing feathers on his head, then another bird is probably preening him too aggressively. Either way, if it doesn't stop soon, I suggest you check with your vet on how to help him. :)

Why is your parakeet losing his feathers?
Many species of birds, including lovebirds, do something called "molting," which means losing their feathers, then growing new ones. Adult lovebirds do this usually twice a year. It's normal and nothing to worry about, unless your bird seems to be plucking its own feathers out and digging at its skin, which could mean it has a skin problem that needs to be seen by a veterinarian.
