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.
