Can I use cat ear mite treatment to kill the mites on the birds?

I rescued these 3 birds and they all have mites. I need to know a very simple solution to kill the mites. Never had any birds with this problem before. Could I bathe them in dawn dish detergent like I do my cats and dog when they have fleas? Can I use cat ear mite treatment to kill the mites on the birds and can humans catch mites from parakeets?

Thanks,
Emily

    NO! DO NOT bathe them in any kind of soap or shampoo unless it is specifically for birds.
