FEATHERING

I wrote to you last year about my female Gouldian going bald on the top of her head. Over the summer she grew her feathers back and looked really good. However she is beginning to show signs of loosing them again. She has begun to loose feathers around her beak and eyes. Is there a way of preventing this from happening again? We keep the birds inside at night and when it is cold, but have them outside as much as we can. Does ducting heating affect the birds in any way? They get a balanced diet and food/water is changed daily. Thank-you for your time.
