The headline is misleading... Read the article!
However, please stop feeding birds via a birdtable (or any flat surface) and via hanging seed and nut feeders, during the summer months.
Trichomonosis is deadly & mainly affects finches, its spread where birds congregate to feed... if you see a finch that looks fat, seems unusually tame and is lethargic, it has the disease and will die.
Birds feed from garden to garden, spreading the disease far and wide.
If you carry on feeding, you are doing more harm than good.
I have feeders as you all know... I am taking them down for the Summer as advised... I love birds, I'll miss seeing them in my garden of course, but the welfare of the birds comes first! 🙏
If you supply water, please continue BUT, change the water every day, using only fresh tap water... and clean your bird bath every week. (Disease is spread via water sources too)
Thank you for helping the birds! 🙏❤️🐦
