Budgie With Bald Spot

One of my budgies is going through a moult and a couple of days ago he had a head full of pin feathers and he was scratching his head on the branches heaps. Today i noticed he has a rubbed some of the feathers from the top of his head off, is it normal for that to happen during moulting. i checked him and cannot see any mites or anything else wrong with him.

Looks like a heavy moult to me. You will see pin feathers pop though in the next few days and within a week or so the patch should be covered :P

This is nothing to do with his head but I was just wondering, would he possibly be able to hurt his toes in the chain?

I used to use wire to hang my perches up in the aviary but one of my budgies cut his foot on a sharp end of wire so i changed to chains a few months ago and so far none of my budgies have hurt themselves.
