The dish detergent, "Dawn" cleans them right up!

Answer:

Cleaning oiled birds is a feel-good thing that the public demands. In reality oiled birds have usually ingested enough oil to impact their health and are no longer viable. In addition the recovery process of feeding the birds and accustoming them to human contact adversely affects their ability to survive in the wild. Many experts advocate simply euthanizing oiled birds.

This cannot be known for certain. For starters, have they properly stopped the release of oil yet? No guarantees here. Secondly, how do you define 'cleaned up'? One would think that the Exxon Valdez spill was cleaned up some time ago and all the wildlife back again. But I learn that you can still find oil there even now. So is that spill cleaned up or not, in your definition?
