Diseased Bird: House finches with conjunctivitis
Additional images:
House finches with conjunctivitis: One female affected in left eye, first observed 2024-02-12, and in right eye – same bird – first observed 2024-02-15. On 2024-02-20, the female’s left eye appeared sealed shut, while her right eye was rimmed in red. During this feederwatch period, 2024-02-26 to 27, both eyes appeared much improved: a bit weepy but open with hardly any red.
One male, affected in right eye, first observed 2024-02-22. Male’s left eye remains healthy as of 2024-02-27. Affected eye was open only a slit on 2024-02-26 and sealed shut on 2024-02-27.
I am monitoring both birds closely and taking daily pictures.
