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.
