My family owns a parakeet, and while my brother was handling the bird, the bird flew from his hands into a rodent glue trap. The bird had its legs, and face stuck, so I used vegetable oil to remove the bird. I was told to use hand soap (detergent) and water to remove the oil, but the bird looks terrible even several days after the fact. It's feathers are clumped together, and the birds skin is exposed. Any advice?
