feathers EVERYWHERE!

my eccy is 6 months old now and he is dropping feathers EVERYWHERE - the tiny little feathers on his head are coming out, all the grey down type feathers underneath his other feathers and some of the feathers on his tummy and back... but like they are EVERYWHERE.. is it normal for them to moult so many darned feathers? He is also being destructive lol but i think thats normal when they are moulting?

It sounds like normal moulting. Some birds can be edgy during this time.
