Is she being picked on by other birds? What size cage is she in and who is she housed with? OC's are tiny and probably the most defenseless against larger (and more aggressive birds). From your list above, I'd suspect zebras first and cordon bleu second if someone is tormenting her.

awww, poor little OC! i agree with lisa, probably being picked on by another (bigger!) bird 
can you separate her for a bit to allow her some time to rest and grow her feathers back?
