Hi,
I'm new to the forum.
Yesterday I observed this House Finch on one of my finch feeders (serving Canola seed) with a dark lump on the top of it's beak.
House Finch - Avian Pox ?
Of course I'm wondering if this could be Avian Pox ? I'd read, somewhere, that lumps like this can be due accumulation of plant latex, which hardens, but I want to be sure. Needless to say, I have taken down the feeder and disinfected it as a precaution.
Live just outside Montreal.
Cheers.
