Clean your feeder with a solution of oxy-clean and allow to dry. I would wait a few days before filling it again. Also, rake up under the feeder and dispose of the seed litter safely. Be sure wash your hands and avoid breathing seed dust. Just to be safe.If you have a bird bath. Scrub it also. <br />You got great educational pics of an infected bird.jeanlivingsimplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08820800238853344959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708718912504052807.post-53923952090895951962011-05-27T22:38:14.118-04:002011-05-27T22:38:14.118-04:00These are the moments in life that I love the most...These are the moments in life that I love the most...very sweet..tweet! ;DJulie Harwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05246850029056713294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708718912504052807.post-85411806075744242992011-05-27T22:18:46.907-04:002011-05-27T22:18:46.907-04:00How cool!

It's common among finches. The sad thing is --he will probably die. A couple of years ago, eye disease went through Pine Siskins all over the country.. Many died. We were told to clean our feeders really well if we saw one. I did have a couple around---and I worked harder at keeping the feeders cleaned. It's sad---so I hope I'm wrong when it comes to your bird. IF you see him again, take down your feeder and clean it. Leave it down for a few days --and hopefully he will disappear... <br /><br />Sorry to bring this news--and like I said, I may be wrong.<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708718912504052807.post-36673195591414684522011-05-27T20:30:07.229-04:002011-05-27T20:30:07.229-04:00Wow, that is unusual!!
