Dan P Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I saw these two birds at my feeders yesterday in Glendale, CA. I suppose the Lesser Goldfinch has House Finch Eye Disease. But I'm not sure what the condition of the House Finch is. It appears to be a tumor. It looks the same from both sides. Not in the eyes.

The Bird Nuts Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Avian Pox can look like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigOly Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 This disease made the rounds here in Baja Sur 10 or 12 years ago. Many birds were infected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Please remember take down your feeders and clean them throughly. I wouldn’t put them up for a while to give a chance for these birds to disperse. Don’t want to cause an outbreak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan P Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 I have taken down my feeders and will sanitize them and leave them down for awhile. Also hosed down my balcony and everything on it. And I'll notify my neighbors on NextDoor app. Thanks. Poor birds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
