hi guys! I’m just wondering if my little ladies cere looks okay? she was treated for mites around 2 months ago as here beak and cere was really crusted and she just wasn’t herself at all! But she improved massively and got back to being happy and chirpy and the dry crustyness cleared! but now I notice it’s looking dry... she’s is still very much herself, eating fine, drinking fine, and playing fine but not sure if this is the start of mites again?

Looks like mites to me as well. Treat all your birds when you do so again, and each week when you treat them, give all the cages, cage furniture, toys, food and water containers - anything at all in the cage - a good thorough cleaning at the same time. Take out the nest box as well. While she has mites you don’t want her to be thinking about laying eggs, and if you aren’t wanting them to breed, leave the nest box out all together - they don’t need it. It may also be the cause of her reinfestation, if it has been in situ all this time.
Did you treat the birds, all bird, with one dose a week for three weeks with Ivermectin 0.1%?
