Bald spotr on head, help !

I accidently rubbed some of the feathers ontop of my cockatiels head, he's about 3 years old and I was lying down and didn't see him and my legs (socks) rubbed his head and now he has a bald spot. Will the feathers grow back? If yes, how long? HELP !

The feathers should start growing back immediately but may take a few weeks before they are grown back out. It's a natural thing for birds to molt feathers so nothing to be concerned about so long as the feather follicles haven't been damaged, which I doubt they would have been.
