kfhgw Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 A friend of mine took this picture of a Goldfinch and asked for help on what maybe wrong with his bill. His upper bill has a bump on it and seems a bit longer than normal and the bottom seems to have a growth. Does anyone know what causes this, injury or infection, and is it contagious for other birds? Thanks in advance, Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avery Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) I can’t see the photo, but others may be able to. If the bird does have avian pox or another illness, it would be best for your friend to take down their feeders and clean them for a little while.

The Bird Nuts Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Growths on the bill probably means Avian Pox which is contagious between birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
