Charlie Spencer Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 House Finches are prone to a respiratory disease; I don't know if it affects Purples. @cooldood, be sure to clean this feeder at your first opportunity. This will help reduce the transmission to other birds. Thanks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, at the very least, clean and disinfect often. I'd get rid of the food too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its face pattern is partially obscured because its feathers are so ruffled. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
