there seems to be correlation suggested in another (greenfinch) thread again between pigeons and other species. i also note a very badly afected wood pigeon with papillomavirus here which spreads. cant stop them sharing branches but i decided to just use the covered table for blackcap and tits and hangers and remove the pans so contact is less across species. any other ideas?
