Go to google.com and type in "Why do parrots pluck their feathers."
There are many help sites that can help you find the answer.

I saw a show on animal planet that said birds will preen other birds so if a bird is alone it might over preen itself. Their suggestion was to put a feather duster in the cage with the bird. The bird will fulfill its need to pull feathers by pulling feathers from the duster. You can get feather dusters at dollar stores so it is something cheap you can try before you try getting it a companion.
I have a female Eclectus parrot that pulls her feathers out. I adopted her from a loud vet clinic and I would like to see her get her beautiful feathers back.
