Alright, so I was doing the dishes and koki was on my shoulder and jumped into the diluted soapy water while it was going down the drain and I saw her so I instantly picked her up and tried to dry her but she wouldn't let me hold her in a towel and I let her fly around the house and air-dry will anything happen to her? she didn't drink any of the soapy water but she preened. The soap was Fairy sensitive tea tree & mint

Rise very well with cool to warm fresh drinking water and allow to dry!

Watch for skin irritation. Its off to the Vet if you see a reddening of the skin. Mint can cause a reaction.

I agree I would grab her and rinse her off, no matter how mad it made her.

Another vote for a good rinsing off under tempid water. My last parrot got a huge blob of mayo on his head and shoulders and back, so we had to douse him in diluted Dawn ( carefully avoiding his nostrils eyes and ears., followed by a really thorough rinse.
