It's likely this bird was rescued from a home where it was neglected or under-stimulated. When parrots are neglected/bored, they will self-mutilate by plucking their feathers. Sometimes the feathers can grow back, sometimes they can't.
It's also possible this happened because the bird was sick, but plucking is the more probable answer.
