Which type of mites are you referring to. Scaly mites usually occur around the cere and makes the beack and cere very crusty and upon close inspection you will notice little holes from the mites burrowing.
Feather mites look like little pencil marks on the feathers.

here is a link about the different mites birds can get this should give you an idea what to look for.
If in doubt always take to an avian vet to get them checked out.
