Heya Chookschick, sounds like feather/bird lice to me. They're flat, usually oblong, and much larger than mites (1/8 inch instead of 1/32 of an inch). There are actually a few different kinds, and Ivermectin may not work on all of them. Can you count the number of legs the things have? If it doesn't have 8, you can rule out mites for sure. If it doesn't have wings, you can probably rule out flies as well.
Here are a few pics/pages with different bird lice, maybe you will recognize one.
