Well first of all when they loose their feathers, its called "Molting" they usually go though this proses 2-3 times a year and last for about 10-7 weeks. Molting is the case of sheading (replacement) of old feathers with the simultaneous growth of new ones. Though this is frequent it is a stressful and uncomfortable time for your bird. He/she will be less active, a bit more crancky and and have a greater need for clacium and protein. Supplement your cockatail diet with dark green leafy vegetables and scrambled eggs, cooked chicken, fish and leaned meats. your bird will also appreciate bathing or water misting baths to help soften and loosen the hard keratin on new feathers.
If you were refering just in general buy lossing their feathers once in a while, just think of why you loose strands of hair once in a while, its just a normal part of life for them and for us.

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. :)
