Disease - birds do not normally loose their feathers. When they change them it is called moult.
Moulting is a process (like shedding in mammals) done regularly by birds, to replace old feathers with new, healthy feathers. This is normal. When a bird loses many feathers at once, it is usually due to the bird plucking out its own feathers OR a condition called French Moult, for which there is no cure.
All birds may or may not lose their feathers. It is only when this happens to them and or they die.
