nukewalla Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 last week my CAG got into a mess. he started playing with my moms hair oil and some came on his back i gave him many showers but the oil still doesn't come off. can any suggest me on what to do or will the oil go away by itself. Also sometimes when i give him my hand to step up he sometimes put one foot on it and then starts regurgitating. i don't know what that means and sometimes i get nervous can some tell me thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 the standard for de -oiling birds is to wash with a drop or two of Dawn detergent then rinse well. It does sound like he needs a Veterinarian to care for him as some ingredients other than oil are in the hair concoction and he sounds like he is in some distress. Your bird may be a bit toxic-please get him to the Vet they can clean him safely as well if he is strong enough for such treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kins2321@yahoo.com Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 It sounds like you have a bird that won't require moisturizing for a long time!Of course, check with the vet. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
