They do moult their feathers & can look bald in places for a week or two.

I would get him a friend though as Budgies are very social & it is not fair to keep them on their own.

My budgie is going through the same thing, they moult their feathers a couple of times a year. They can get very itchy with their pinfeathers coming through so you can make him more comfortable with a little spray of clean water (away from drafts).
He'll be much better in a week or two! Although if he is continually loosing feathers or becomes very bald it may be parasites and you can pick up a spray in the vets.
