wax on bird

my bird flew and landed in hot candle wax. I removed him immediately and put cold water on him. now he is coated in a layer of hardened wax on his chest. any ideas on how to get it off him?

either put him in the oven, or put a bit of string in his beak and tell everyone he is doing a candle impression

He has probably groomed it all off by now with his beak.

Best not to use any kind of cleaning material or solvent as he might swallow it or it could damage his skin (for example, white spirit will irritate even thick human skin if not wiped off quickly)
