Has anyone else noticed finches that are obviously sick?
I've seen several chaffinches, greenfinches and goldfinches all hunched up trying to feed but not able to swallow and their beaks not closing. They often sit on the feeder perches without moving for ages too and on the ground they don't fly off until I get really close to them. Poor things. My daughter-in-law says it is finch flu. I've seen birds which were obviously not well before, but not so many as lately.
The sick birds have all been juveniles.
