Oil On Feathers?
When I cleaned my bird's claw with oil, some of it stuck on bottom and back feathers which made him unable to fly and loss of feathers. I have checked for mites but none were found. I have been giving him a regular bath for a week but no signs of improving. Today, I also noticed that he lost some of his feathers in neck as well, what should I do?

Personally I would use a tiny bit of Dawn dish soap in the area where the oil has covered the feathers.
Just don't get it into his eyes, mouth, or nares, and rinse it off very carefully.
Apparently that's what they use on birds that have been soaked in oil where oil spills have occurred, or that's what I've heard anyway.
