Description

A Baltimore Oriole pair has been visiting my yard in New Jersey for the last two weeks. I only noticed today, where I could snap a picture of the male, that his left eye appears swollen and crusted over. I am hoping with the nutritional feed in the yard and with his natural diet combined that he can recover from this disease naturally. I am very interested in learning more about what disease the oriole could have and the likelihood of it passing it to other birds in the area.

Just saw a Bullock’s oriole here in Southwestern New Mexico with the same symptoms.

Here in new york a baby oriole has the same symptom. Was hoping to find some answers as well

I’m pretty sure the eye was infected by bacteria, but I’ve never seen such symptoms in New Jersey.
