I think i would seek a Avian Vets opinion. But i would have to ask how long has this been going on. I do know they go through a hard molt but your bird looks like it's plucked out it's wing feathers.
If you are not feeding a balanced diet of fresh fruit & Veg & only feeding seed that could be the reason. But i am worried there is a more serious problem like a virus.

I would also recommend seeing an avian vet, or at least a vet who knows about parrots even if they don't have the avian recognition.
Did you cut the wing feathers yourself? What kind of a cage is the bird living in?
I agree with the vet recommendation, but can you post a pictures of the entire cage please?
Also, what size is his cage, how many toys are in it, how much time does your bird spend in his cage?
How about a little back ground on your bird, like how did you come by him, is he from a pet shop or privately owned, do you know what kind of care he received before you got him and how long have you had him?

"Willie"&"Lola"B&G Macaw,
"Dixie"LSC2, and "Nico" Scarlet Macaw.
Is he in one if those home made wire cages with paint chipping off? I think you need some blood work done plus check for PBFD!
Any answers to our questions?
