Thanks for reaching out about Princess. Rarely are parasites visible as a mass. Feather lice or mites can lead to over-grooming and feather loss. Separate from other birds to prevent cross-contamination. A veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Review husbandry and diet as nutritional deficiencies can slow feather re-growth. Good luck.
