   I have a goldfinch that looks like it has an eye disease. How did it get it? And what should I do?

     Hello Kay, whenever a sick bird comes to your feeder, we recommend that you remove the feeders the sick bird is using for a couple of weeks to ensure that disease is not being spread at your feeders and to give birds a chance to disperse. While the feeders are down clean your feeders and feeder area thoroughly. Learn more on our page for Sick Birds and Bird Diseases.
