carefully, use dawn dish soap - only dawn is safe to use on birds.





it is what they used to clean the Exxon Valdez spill





call the local animal control- they can put you in touch with a wildlife rehabilitation person to get that bird back out where it belongs!How do you wash motor oil off of a bird? I found a bird in a can of motor oil with its head sticking up above?
Definitely Dawn Dish soap. Make sure you get the blue one that is marked original formula. It may take more than one washing. Very traumatic for a wild bird. Your best bet is is a wild life rehabber. Ask your local vet if you don't know one. They usually have a list of them.
most definitely Dawn dish soap. the only safe one to use.
What you should do immediately is take it to a vet that can properly remove the oil. It is extremely dangerous to the bird. Oil is very caustic to the skin.
use dawn dish soap, contact animal control or keep as pet
