Has your bird been molting? Looks like feather casings

Is that what the black dots on his head are?

Looks like pin feathers to me

Thank you, but is there any chance that this could be mites. Just got them treated with a spray this February. (the spray is from the vet)

In my opinion, these are keratin sheaths. They are not related to mites. Having these in the cage doesn't prove or deny mites.
