Thanks for reaching out about CoCo and including photos. Not all Psittacine Feather Disorders are due to itching or allergies, and could be viral (Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease, Avipolyomavirus), metabolic disorders (liver, kidney), ingested toxins (zinc, lead, plants), and other problems. Dietary correction is needed to include proteins (beans, legumes), vegetables, and should have no/minimal seeds. Vitamin in the water are not a long term solution as you have no control of how much they get. A avian-experienced avian veterinarian might be able to give further expertise. Good luck.
