Looks like he let his tail go. Does he still have any tail feathers left?

Yes, and flies with no problem. These feathers look horrible too. The new ones are bright and healthy.

Do birds pluck feathers as gifts? Very silly question. I use feathers in my jewelery and in crafts. Not his, but maybe. Need advice.

As gifts? No.
They pluck when molting or when they're stressed.

It's normal to find a feather every once in a while but a lot all at once is usually not a good sign.

He is having a heavy molt, some birds molt fast and others just a few at a time.
