First check that these aren't clusters of lice eggs and if so treat with Front line cat strength spot on with 3 or 4 drops on teh skin at the back of the neck.

If not they could be dander produced by new quills growing.  new quills are covered with a white skin like sheave which is shed like dandruff as the feather opens.  You may see new stubby quills on her head or neck.

They could also be droppings in which case they will wash off.

You need to examine these with a magnifying glass.
