Is my conure feather plucking?

[TailFeathers]

So I got a pinapple conure about 3 weeks ago and recently I’ve been noticing that he’s losing a lot of feathers and the colourful ones at that. In the first 2 weeks of having him he’d lose maybe 1-2 feathers a day but lately he’s been losing 5-7. I’ve attached some pictures and you can kind of see some white spots where the down feathers are showing. He is only about 4 months old so I’m not sure if he’s molting or not but the feathers don’t have any blood on them and his behaviour is normal he’s eating and drinking fine. Should I be concerned about this?

Not very clear from your picture. If you start seeing bare skin then seek advice from an Avian Vet. There are others on this forum that will probably reply.

Agreed, it is hard to see.
Is his cage always so dark?

No usually during the day time he gets a lot of natural light. Though we don’t keep him in his cage much anyways he’s usually outside. Here are a few more clear pictures I notice one little patch where you can see the white feathers
