Crimson wings with bald head

I have a beautifull pair of Red-eyed Crimsonwings in my outdoor aviary.
But since a couple of months they are moulting. On the head. The male has already replaced his red spectacles :lol:
But now both their heads are bold, just like they have picked on them (that's a likely idea since they like to take care of eachothers feathers)
It looks really nasty...
What can I do about it?
Or is this probably going over in a matter of time?

I'm not familiar with crimsonwings, but I'd suspect a nutritional deficiency.
