Welcome to PT BTW. I love RNP, they are asbolutely beautiful and I plan on owning one some day.
Since she said he's 6 months old, he might just be going through the clumsy baby stage and bumping into things....breaking them off. Muffin was like that as a baby. So clumsy, that her tail feathers never grew right! It took her to *grow up* to grow nice long tail feathers, without messing them up. BUT, if he is *plucking* it could be a problem and I would advise taking him to the vet.
