Hi,
Apologies if this is the incorrect sub-forum. I tried to post this in the general forum but it's someone wound up here.
I've around 10-15 bullfinches visit my feeders each day, but recently a couple of them (males) are starting to look very dishevelled / unwell. I'm not entirely certain what's wrong with them, but I was hoping someone on here might be able to help identifying the ailment in case it's something serious/contagious that warrants withdrawing the feeders for a few weeks.
I've attached a link to a picture / video - sorry for the quality as this was taken on a mobile phone. The video's probably the best in terms of quality.

Many thanks
