I live in Asheville NC and we are big bird lovers and feeders. we keep our birds very happy with lots of great bird seed! the past week I have found 9 dead birds in my yard they are all small finches. I am very sad about this. I am wondering if I have some sort of disease going around. I have noticed that the finches will sit on my feeders all puffed up and they look kinda sickly, and they often don't fly away when I approach them. It is pretty apparent something is wrong. Now we did have a cold spell 2 weeks ago where we got snow and it was down right cold, like 19" but I thought they would survive it and this is recent so I am wondering if it was the cold weather are they tender? I am so sad to be finding dead birds all over the yard. it really upsets me. But What can I do? I am going to clean my feeders really good this weekend but anything else I can do?
I have 3 dogs and they have also been finding them and bringing me little gifts that are not so pretty UM YAH its awful what they find and carry on in through the dog door last week it was a squirrel. ( on my bed)!
thanks so much for your insight.
