Can you see the mites or lice? I keep looking at the bare areas of her skin and haven't seen anything running around.
VERY HAPPY to hear that they are specific to birds. I did see some spray at the feed store.
My main concern with her is her lack of walking
I'm sorry, I just can't venture a guess as to why she is not walking. You might try posting that specific question in the Emergencies/Diseases section and get more responses specific to that question.
There are different kinds of lice. They are tiny and you are more likely to see the egg clusters attached to the base of the feather next to the skin. Try parting the feathers up around her neck and different part of her body where there are feathers still and see what you might find. I've never actually seen a mite in person. They are very tiny. Some people recommend looking for them at night when they are more likely to be active. With mites, also, you might find some scabbing on the bare skin...at the least it would look irritated.
Did you already post what it is you are feeding him/her? I can go back and look...
