Hey there Amir.
the feathers sounds like it's just a normal moult that she's going through.. She may drop even more in a day if she's having a 'heavy moult'.. my cockatoo, sometimes can drop up to 20 feathers a day when he's in the middle of his moult.. sometimes only a few... so I don't think you'll have to worry too much about that.
with the beak.. I just had a look at the pics.. I really don't know what to say, I haven't seen a beak like that, but may be because she's still young? I believe that I read that you're not sure how old she is right? Perhaps she's still getting the full red colour?
Does it feels brittle to you? the beak I mean. I don't know what could be wrong with her if anything is wrong with her.
Do you have an avian vet close by that you can at least ring and ask?? perhaps? |

Hi there, welcome to fluffies! I just saw your photos. Nice to meet you and your pets. 
I agree with Cheeta about the possible molt. She looks just fine! |

Hi Amir,
I haven't heard of that brand of food, is it especially designed for parrots? Is it pellets or a seed blend? What are the ingredients? |

I know that brand. I wouldn't go for xtra vital. I have heard nasty stories about mold in that food. |
