It may be nothing more than his first adult molt. But there
are many other things that it could also be, including but
not limited to dry feather/skin, improper diet, cage too
small causing him to hit his wings on perches, toys, bowls
etc. If it were my bird, to be on the safe side, I take him
in for a check up with a good Avian vet.
