    Ducks losing their natural oil isn’t the issue here. They can get that back pretty easily.

    It’s more that being completely covered in crude oil is very bad for you because it’s crude oil, and just washing it off doesn’t fix the issue.

      Well it won’t get better if you don’t wash them off. Volunteers do it not because every bird will survive, but because some will, and that’s better than none.
