Goldfinch with Trichomonosis symptoms below garden feeders yesterday. I've removed all feeders, cleansed with bleach solution and scrubbed all ground below with an even stronger bleach solution. It's the first time I've noticed Trichomonosis in garden so I'm wondering if I should stop feeding for a week or two or will this just encourage birds to move to feeders where less/no hygiene regime is practiced. What do you reckon?
I think no matter how clean your are and it could be from someone else is garden and get it every now and than and birds need food more when cold .
ReplyDeleteYes I think you may be right, I had blue tits hunting around the yard and staring in the window late morning. I bleach rinsed the yard once more and re-hung 2 of the feeders, will keep an eye on things. Cheers
