Help really scared. Don't know what to do.

What do Iwhe my cockatoo bird named Penny got my bar of soap in her mouth ? I heard it was deadly to them and would make them sick. I washed her mouth out and got the towel and did what I could. to get it out, Didn't see none but caught her biting on the bar before I got in the shower. Didn't have a clue that the bar was up on the top of the glass doors. Please tell me what to do!!

At the very least call them and ask them for advice. It may or may not require a visit but it is always better to be safe than sorry.

Yes, but that is definately not something you should try at home if you have not done this before! It is a very dangerous thing to do and your bird might choke if done wrong!
I have seen an experienced breeder do this once on a chick with a cropdisease. It is not a pretty sight!

Sorry susz, I know you mean well, but I just needed to put a warning on this.
