I used to raise chickens and regularly dusted them for lice.
bird louse
any chewing louse (Mallophaga) living on birds. Probably all bird species have chewing lice. Bird lice feed on feathers, skin surface, and sometimes blood but normally are not harmful; however, if too numerous, their irritation may cause the bird to damage itself by scratching and may even interfere with egg production and the fattening of poultry.
