Hi. I think he's molting. The new ones will be green and normal.

 

[carlosmalta]

But are you sure 100% that is molting????

 

[Delfin]

Looks like a heavy molt .

 

[carlosmalta]

But are you sure that is 100% molting??????
How can i help him to grew up the new feather to look nicer

i am very worried about him

 

[Delfin]

Baths or showers will help and add some aloe Vera.

The only way to know for sure what it is caused by would be to take him to an avian vet. Do you have one where you live? I see that you're even questioning if it's a molt for sure.
IME, even with a very heavy molt, there shouldn't be extensive areas of no green. Shaggy and patchy, but not like that.
Please try and find a qualified vet for your peace of mind and to help your little friend. IMO it's not a molt. Good luck!

What do you feed him, and is he with any other birds?

Even in a heavy molt, that's the incorrect moulting pattern.

and as feeding i giv him seed mix good quality of belgium

For a healthier diet, their food should be pellets. The healthiest diet should be consisted of fresh fruits and veggies (sprouts!). The mix in my opinion, has way too many (sunflower) seeds than a parrot should have daily. Please ignore my ignorance on this part, but may I ask what belgium is?
For a molt, it's strange to see the last layers of down feathers and skin IMO, please do keep us updated on the vet visit!

 

[Delfin]

On very rare occasions I saw some of the birds that my father had go through very heavy molt. A poor diet does nothing to help the regrowth of new feathers. but to be sure I would see a avian vet. Even for peace of mind.

 

[carlosmalta]

Yes that i am going to do

thankyou for your help

Good luck with the vet visit, I hope it's nothing serious. Please let us know how it turns out.

You still need to get him off just seeds and feed fresh fruit and veggies, sprouts and/or pellets.... Just seed will give him fatty liver disease and make him unhealthy.

From the pictures you've posted, I only see one dowel perch and no toys. Have you ruled out plucking?
