can he have a quick bath to help wash off the pollen when you come in? that might make him more comfortable?   

Good idea Wishy! A real good soaking would help in washing the pollen off but isn't feasable everyday, but taking several wet cloths/paper towels and wiping him down would help (don't reuse the same cloth/towel so as not to add more pollen to him), use 1 cloth per wing, 1 for his face, 1 for the back and 1 for his chest/tummy area, and 1 for his feets, and don't forget his tail - you might need two for that. I'm afraid spritzing him would clump the pollen and cause him to get more on his face when he preens and worsen his reaction.
