As uncool as it may be to say, I think the scrubbing of birds with Dawn is mostly a "feel good" exercise to keep the treehuggers happy on the beach thinking that they're actually contributing in some fashion.
I think it's way more important to focus quickly and effectively on restoring the habitat itself. The critters will ultimately fill the vacuum left by their (unfortunately) deceased brethren.
