That certainly sounds odd. I can't tell from your post if this has always been the case or if it is a recent development. I would check his flight feathers first. They usually molt gradually, so the bird can continue to fly, but if one side has more primaries than the other, it could hinder him. Other than that, he should probably be seen by an avian vet. If it's recent, he may have a breathing or other health issue. If he's always been that way, my guess would be some kind of birth defect or early trauma that hurt his development. I think a vet would be the only one who could help you get to the bottom of it.

Good luck with his vet visit. I hope he returns to normal soon.  |

Pin feathers are very normal... especially around the head and neck. If they are long enough you could help a little by gently pressing on them with two fingers. Sometimes pin feathers are still full of blood therefore, your bird will let you know that it hurts. Other times... they will appreciate the little crack that will help them pins fall off.
Good luck at the vet... wise move.
