I've had many birds and this is such a common problem! What kind of bird do you have? Birds are extremely social and if they get lonely or anxious they will usually pluck all of their feathers out. If your schedule has changed and you don't have a ton of time for your bird, you can get a fake companion bird that you can buy at a pet store or consider buying another bird. Your bird may bod to the other bird more than you, but I had to do that to save his feathers.

Birds do this for many reasons, we become concerned when they pluck themselves bald, but are you sure your bird is plucking them out and not just grooming and molting? molting is a natural necessary exfoliation process for birds. Some birds pluck because of stress or boardom, but most birds pluck themselves bald due to illness. You should have your bird checked by a qualified vet (I do big birds, but not little ones) Look for a vet who specializes in Avians. http://www.aav.org/vet-lookup/ And if all is well, follow Jodi's bored bird tips above.
