Well, I'm guessing the bird is either bored, is sick, or some other reason. It may be reacting to stress. Has anything major happened around the house lately? Or maybe the bird is allergic to something. Have you started feeding your bird something new? Or it could be bored. Try adding a new toy to the cage. Remember, you should have 5 toys or so on hand and rotate a toy every week or so. After not seeing the bird for about five weeks for the time it's been in rotation or whatever, the toy seems like new to the bird.
The bird may be sick, have mites or a skin irritation. But anyways, I think you should take your bird to the vet no matter what. The vet might recommend a bird behaviorist. Keep trying different things till' he/she stops. Or the bird may never stop and become a plucker for the rest of his/her life. In that case, enjoy your feather plucker and don't sell her just because she doesn't have feathers.

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.
