Soapy bath water. Put bird in a bin of soapy water and let it stand there while you use a soft toothbrush to gently remove build up. Then rinse and dry thoroughly. Apply Vaseline and lightly wrap with saran cling wrap on legs then over that the flexible wrap to hold into place. Repeat daily until gone. Done forget to thoroughly clean the coop and pen.
