I have had Cockatiels for 9 years and never saw a mass loss of feathers. Look at their droppings for signs of trouble. This could be a heavy molt, but observe diet and behaviour closely. If the loss doesn't slow to a stop a trip to the vet may be in prder. Keep us posted.

All four of my birds are molting now... I just have to run the sweeper every day for a couple weeks. ;D Just watch for signs of pulling them out vs molting...
